At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is g = 1.81 m/s2. A watermelon weighs 60.0 N at the surface of the earth. a) What is the watermelon's mass on the earth's surface?_____ kg b) What are its mass and weight on the surface of Io?
Mass: _____ kg Weight: _____ N At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is g = 1.81 m/s2. A watermelon weighs 60.0 N at the surface of the earth. a) What is the watermelon's mass on the earth's surface?
_____ kg b) What are its mass and weight on the surface of Io?
Mass: _____ kg Weight: _____ N a) What is the watermelon's mass on the earth's surface?
_____ kg b) What are its mass and weight on the surface of Io?
Mass: _____ kg Weight: _____ N
Explanation / Answer
a) watermelon's mass on the earth's surface = 60/9.8
= 6.122 kg
b) mass on the surface of Io = 6.122 kg
Weight on the surface of Io = 6.122 * 1.81
= 11.08 N
