Question

question 4 (5 points)
why does mass stay the same anywhere in the solar system?
o a it decreases as you travel
o b mass is the amount of matter you are made of
o c gravity cannot affect it
o d its based on location

question 5 (5 points)
which planet would pull you harder due to its mass and size?
o a mars
o b moon
o c jupiter
o d pluto

Explanation:

Question 4

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Gravity affects weight (weight = mass × gravitational acceleration), but not mass. For example, on Earth and on the Moon, the mass of an object remains the same, but its weight changes because the gravitational acceleration is different.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\) (where \(F\) is the gravitational force, \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the masses of two objects, and \(r\) is the distance between their centers). For a person (with a fixed mass \(m_1\)), the larger the mass (\(m_2\)) of the planet (assuming a similar distance \(r\) in a relative sense for the solar - system context), the larger the gravitational force \(F\). Jupiter has a much larger mass compared to Mars, the Moon, and Pluto.

Answer:

B. Mass is the amount of matter you are made of
