Hi, I am new and I need your urgent help. I must return for this afternoon. 1° Determine the value of the weight on Jupiter of an object whose mass is m = 1200 g. 2) Determine the mass of an object whose weight on Jupiter is P = 15 N. 3) Recall what is the relationship between the weight P and the mass m of an object? Deduce the value of the intensity of gravity on Jupiter. (1 pt) 4) Calculate what is the weight on Jupiter of an object whose mass is 4 kg. 5) What is the value of the intensity of gravity on Earth? Is the intensity of gravity the strongest on Earth or on Jupiter? And how many times? (2 pts) |

Answer» The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength. On EARTH the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg.Explanation:There is no magic size or mass required for an object in order to have a 'satellite'. An 'orbit' occurs when the gravitational pull from a nearby object exactly matches the FORWARD MOTION or momentum of the ORBITING body. All objects (with mass) have gravity, however SMALL they are. |
