If a man weighs 853.0 N on Earth, what would he weigh on Jupiter where the acceleration due to gravity is 25.4 m/s2?
weight is proportional to "g"
weightonJupiter=853*(25.4/9.8)
thank you mr.pursley
the distance between two telephone poles is 50.0m. When a 1.00kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles ,the wire sags 0.200m. Draw a free body diagram of the bird.how much tension does the bird produce in the wire? Ignore the weight of the wire. Pls help
To find out what the man would weigh on Jupiter, we need to use the equation: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
1. Calculate the mass of the man on Earth:
- In this case, the weight of the man on Earth is given as 853.0 N.
- The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
- Rearranging the formula, we have: weight = mass x 9.8.
- Solving for mass: mass = weight / 9.8.
Therefore, the mass of the man on Earth is: mass = 853.0 N / 9.8 m/s^2.
2. Calculate the weight of the man on Jupiter:
- The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is given as 25.4 m/s^2.
- Using the same formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
- Plug in the mass we calculated in step 1 and the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter.
Therefore, the weight of the man on Jupiter is: weight = (mass on Earth) x 25.4 m/s^2.
By substituting the calculated mass in step 1 into step 2, you can find the weight of the man on Jupiter.
