Question
A bag of sugar weighs 2.00 lb onEarth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where thefree-fall acceleration is one-sixth that on Earth?N
Repeat for Jupiter, where g is 2.64 times that onEarth.
N
Find the mass of the bag of sugar in kilograms at each of the threelocations. Earth kg Moon kg Jupiter kg Earth kg Moon kg Jupiter kg Earth kg Moon kg Jupiter kg
Explanation / Answer
mass=1lb=0.454 kg =>m=1.816 kg on the Moon: weight: w=m*9.8/6=2.97 N on the Jupiter: w=m*9.8*2.64=47 N the mass of the sugar bag is the same for 3 locations and it isequal to 1.816 kg
