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.

some think that theories become laws, but theories and laws have separate and distinct roles in the scientific method. a law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world that hold true every time it is tested. it doesn't explain why something is true; it just states that it is true.
