What would be the weight of 22.0kg dog at the equator on Saturn's surface?
(Saturn's mass equals 5.69 X 10^26kg, Saturn's equatorial radius equals 6.03 X 10^7m, Earths mass equals 5.97 X 10^24)
Weight= GMs*Md/radius^2
what number goes into M and d?
Ms is the mass of Saturn, Md is mass of the dog. Are you not familiar with the Law of Gravitation?
d is the distance the dog is from the center of Saturn (ie, radius).
You need to look this up in the text.
Calculate the gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. The mass of Jupiter is 19000×1023 kg. The distance between them is 77.8×1010 m.
To calculate the weight of a dog on Saturn's surface, we need to use the formula:
weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
First, we need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Saturn's surface. This can be done using the formula:
acceleration due to gravity = (gravitational constant * planet mass) / (planet radius^2)
Let's calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Saturn's surface:
acceleration due to gravity on Saturn's surface = (gravitational constant * Saturn's mass) / (Saturn's equatorial radius^2)
Given:
Saturn's mass = 5.69 X 10^26 kg
Saturn's equatorial radius = 6.03 X 10^7 m
Gravitational constant = 6.67 X 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2
substituting the values into the formula, we obtain:
acceleration due to gravity on Saturn's surface = (6.67 X 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 * 5.69 X 10^26 kg) / (6.03 X 10^7 m)^2
Calculating this expression will give us the value of the acceleration due to gravity on Saturn's surface.
Once we have the acceleration due to gravity, we can calculate the weight of the 22.0 kg dog on Saturn's surface using the formula mentioned earlier:
weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Substituting the values, we can find the weight of the dog on Saturn.
