a man weighs 1370N on earth what would he weigh on jupiter where free fall acceleration is 25.9 m/s2 the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 in units of N
W1/g1=W2/g2 1370/9.8=W2/25.9 W2=3621N
To calculate the weight of the man on Jupiter, we can use the formula:
Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity
On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, which we can convert to N/kg.
Weight on Earth = 1370 N
Weight on Jupiter = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter
First, let's calculate the mass of the man by using the formula:
Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity
1370 N = Mass × 9.8 m/s^2
Mass = 1370 N / 9.8 m/s^2
Mass ≈ 140 kg
Now, let's calculate the weight on Jupiter, using the mass and the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter:
Weight on Jupiter = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter
Weight on Jupiter = 140 kg × 25.9 m/s^2
Weight on Jupiter ≈ 3,626 N
Therefore, the man would weigh approximately 3,626 N on Jupiter.
To find out the weight of the man on Jupiter, where the free fall acceleration is 25.9 m/s^2, we can use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration
On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the mass of the man:
Mass = Weight / Acceleration
Given that the weight of the man on Earth is 1370 N, we can calculate his mass on Earth:
Mass (on Earth) = 1370 N / 9.8 m/s^2 ≈ 140 kg
Now, we can use the mass of the man and the acceleration on Jupiter to calculate his weight on Jupiter:
Weight (on Jupiter) = Mass x Acceleration (on Jupiter)
= 140 kg x 25.9 m/s^2
Weight (on Jupiter) ≈ 3,626 N
Therefore, the man would weigh approximately 3,626 N on Jupiter.
