An astronaut in full gear has a weight of 2900 N on Earth.
Jupiter; weight on planet relative to earth is 2.53 and weight of a 150-lb person is 380.
How much will the astronaut weigh on the Jupiter?
W_{Jupiter} =________________ N
Neptune; weight on planet relative to earth is 1.18 and weight of a 150-lb person is 177.
How much will the astronaut weigh on the Neptune?
W_{Neptune} =__________________ N
On Jupiter 2900 * 2.53
or 2900 * 380.150 which is the same
neptune
2900 * 1.18
To find the weight of the astronaut on Jupiter and Neptune, we need to multiply the weight on Earth by the respective weight factors for each planet.
1. Weight on Jupiter:
Given that the weight of the astronaut in full gear on Earth is 2900 N, and the weight of a 150-lb person on Earth is 380 N, we can calculate the weight factor for Jupiter:
Weight factor for Jupiter = Weight of a 150-lb person on Jupiter / Weight of a 150-lb person on Earth = 380 N / 150 lb = 2.53 N/lb
To find the weight of the astronaut on Jupiter, we multiply the weight on Earth (2900 N) by the weight factor for Jupiter:
Weight on Jupiter = Weight on Earth * Weight factor for Jupiter = 2900 N * 2.53 N/lb = 7347 N
Therefore, the astronaut will weigh 7347 N on Jupiter.
2. Weight on Neptune:
Similarly, given that the weight of a 150-lb person on Earth is 177 N, and the weight factor for Neptune is 1.18, we can calculate the weight on Neptune:
Weight factor for Neptune = Weight of a 150-lb person on Neptune / Weight of a 150-lb person on Earth = 177 N / 150 lb = 1.18 N/lb
To find the weight of the astronaut on Neptune, we multiply the weight on Earth (2900 N) by the weight factor for Neptune:
Weight on Neptune = Weight on Earth * Weight factor for Neptune = 2900 N * 1.18 N/lb = 3422 N
Therefore, the astronaut will weigh 3422 N on Neptune.
