Question
At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s^2. A watermelon has a weight of 55.0 N at the surface of the earth. In this problem, use 9.81 m/s^2 for the acceleration due to gravity on earth.
1.) What is its mass on the earth's surface in kg?
m = ? kg
2.) What is its mass on the surface of lo in kg?
m = ? kg
3.) What is its weight on the surface of lo in Newtons?
w = ? N
I can't seem to figure this exercise out. Please show step by step with correct answers so I can try to understand.
THANK YOU!
Explanation / Answer
1) (55/9.81) = mass of 5.606523955kg.
2) The same.
3) (5.606523955 x 1.81) = 10.1478N.
