4. If a person weighs 500 N on Earth, what would she weigh on Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 26 m/s2? Show all work leading to your answer.

@Luigi0210

@hailey_092112 find the mass first and than multiply it by 26m/s2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find her mass(M) by dividing her weight on earth(Fe) by the acceleration due to gravity on earth (Ge)\[M=\frac{ F _{e} }{ G _{e} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, do what @KissMyAxe said \[F _{j}=M \times G _{_{j}}\] the 'j's represent juiter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im still confused @Bowate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You do know that mass of the object does not change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the mass using the formula i gave you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do this since you know the weight and acceleration due to gravity on earth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you still confused
