Weight on other planets- Space itself has no gravity but stars, moons and other planets do. In fact, they have either more or less gravity than Earth, depending on their mass. This means that your weight will be more or less on other planets than what your weight is on Earth. The gravity on moon is 1/6th of the Earth's gravity so your weight on moon will be 1/6th of your weight on Earth.
If your weight is 48 kg on Earth, figure out how much you would weigh on each of the following planets?
(1) Mars `" "`(2) Jupiter `" "`(3) Saturn

AI Generated Solution

To find out how much you would weigh on Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn given your weight on Earth is 48 kg, we will use the gravitational ratios of these planets relative to Earth's gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Weight and Gravity**: - Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object. It is dependent on the gravitational pull of the planet you are on. - The weight on another planet can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
