Question

Gravity on Jupiter is 25 m/s/s, what is the weight of a 12 kg object on Jupiter?

Answer 1

Answer:

300 Newtons

Explanation:

Weight is the force of attraction between two bodies, one usually larger (like a planet), and one smaller (like a person). Force can be calculated using the formula: Force = mass × acceleration.

The mass here is 12kg, the acceleration, which in this case, is the acceleration due to gravity is 25m/s/s, by plugging in our values, we have

Force = 12 × 25 = 300 Newtons or 300 N for short.
