Why is the weight of the sugar so much greater on Jupiter than the Earth?
Answer: Because Jupiter is a much larger planet than Earth, its gravitational pull is 240\% stronger than that of earth. This is why sawdust, which is lighter than its equivalent measure of sugar would weigh more on Jupiter.
Why would an object be heavier on one planet and lighter on another?
An object’s weight is dependent on its mass and how strongly gravity pulls on it. The strength of gravity depends on how far away one object is from another. That’s why the same object weighs different amounts on different planets.
How much did the 1 kg bag of sugar weigh on Jupiter?
The bag weighs 77.0 N on Earth, 12.84 N on the Moon and 203.35 N on Jupiter.
Does an object’s mass or weight change when it goes to another planet explain why?
Your mass doesn’t change on other planets, but the gravity and size of those planets affect how much you weigh. So, your weight depends upon the gravity of the planet and your weight keeps changing based on planet gravity. A small planet has less gravity and the larger planet has more gravity.
Why do we weight more on Jupiter?
The gravity on Jupiter is greater than the gravity on Earth because Jupiter is more massive. Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases.
Why is a persons weight on Jupiter three times more than that on the earth?
Answer: A person’s weight on Jupiter three times more than that of the earth because of the gravitational force is mostly three times intense than that of the earth.
Why heavy and light objects fall at the same time?
Answer 1: Heavy objects fall at the same rate (or speed) as light ones. The acceleration due to gravity is about 10 m/s2 everywhere around earth, so all objects experience the same acceleration when they fall.
Why do heavier objects have a lower acceleration?
As acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, if mass increases, the acceleration will reduce ( keeping the force constant). We see that as the mass increases, acceleration reduces. So a heavier object is harder to accelerate than a lighter object.
What would I weigh on Jupiter?
Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter (assuming you could find someplace to, well, stand).
Why does the weight of the astronaut change on each planet but the mass of the astronaut remain constant?
The mass of an object stays the same wherever it is, but its weight can change. This happens if the object goes where the gravitational field strength is different from the gravitational field strength on Earth, such as into space or another planet.
What is the mass of a bag of sugar?
0 1 . 4 The mass of a bag of sugar is 1 kg. • On Earth the weight of this bag of sugar is 10 N.
How much do you weigh on each planet?
Because weight = mass x surface gravity, multiplying your weight on Earth by the numbers above will give you your weight on the surface of each planet. If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 351 lbs.
How is sugar formed in space?
Sugar formation, as with much of the complex molecular chemistry in space, occurs in the solid phase on or in a variety of ices that coat interstellar grains. Most land-based chemistry occurs in the liquid phase, primarily with water, thus the widely accepted theory that life on Earth began in a “primordial soup.”
Why did Hollis look for sugar in space?
Because sugars are associated with both metabolism and the genetic code, two of the most basic aspects of life, Hollis rationalized the discovery of any sugar in space would increase the likelihood that life may exist elsewhere in our galaxy. Hollis chose for the search the simplest sugar, glycolaldehyde.
