At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 44.0 N at the surface of the earth. In this problem, use 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Weight at the surface of Jupiter's moon Io is 8.13 N .

Explanation:

Given :

Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Jupiter's moon is [tex]g_m=1.81\ m/s^2[/tex] .

Weight of watermelon in earth , [tex]W=44\ N[/tex] .

Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth is [tex]g=9.81\ m/s^2[/tex] .

We know , weight is given by :

[tex]W=mg\\m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=4.49\ kg[/tex]

Therefore , mass at the surface of Jupiter's moon Io is :

[tex]W_m=mg_m\\\\W_m=4.49\times 1.81\\\\W_m=8.13 \ N[/tex]

Hence , this is the required solution .
