The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of jupiter is about 2.5 times the acceleration due to gravity on earth’s surface. what would be the weight of a space probe on the surface of jupiter?

a.2.5 times lighter than on earth
b.6.25 times heavier than on earth
c.2.5 times heavier than on earth
d.6.25 times lighter than on earth

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

with 5 seconds, no, but over time if the police car stays at 65m/s ad the speeding car stays at 60, then obviously yes, but the answer to your question would be, no.

hope this : )
