Question

Jupiter is a larger and more massive planet than Earth. If we could send a chicken to Jupiter, which statement below accurately describes the mass and relative weight of the chicken.
Question 3 options:

The mass and the weight of the chicken would increase.


The weight of the chicken would increase, but there would be no change in mass.


The mass of the chicken would increase, but its weight would decrease.


The mass of the chicken would change, but there would be no change in weight.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is

b.) The weight of the chicken would increase, but there would be no

    change in mass.

Explanation:

Jupiter is a larger and more massive planet than Earth.

The gravity of Jupiter is much more than Earth.

The weight of an object on a planet depends on the planet's gravity.

The weight of an object on a planet  = (mass of the object) $\times$ (gravity of the planet)

Therefore the mass of an object is the same on any plant irrespective of the gravity of the planet.

Since the gravity of Jupiter is more than that of Earth then the weight of the  chicken on Jupiter will be more than the weight of the same chicken on Earth.

Therefore the correct option is

b.) The weight of the chicken would increase, but there would be no

    change in mass.
