Question

a visit to which planet would result in the greatest positive difference from your earth weight?
view available hint(s)
uranus
jupiter
saturn
the moon
mars

Explanation:

Weight on a planet depends on its gravitational acceleration (\(g\)). The formula for weight is \(W = mg\), where \(m\) is mass (constant) and \(g\) varies by planet. Jupiter has the highest \(g\) among the options (higher than Earth’s \(g\)). So weight on Jupiter (\(W_{Jupiter}\)) will be much higher than Earth weight (\(W_{Earth}\)), giving the greatest positive difference (\(W_{Jupiter}-W_{Earth}\)). Other options: Uranus, Saturn have lower \(g\) than Jupiter; Moon and Mars have lower \(g\) (resulting in lower weight, negative difference or smaller positive than Jupiter).

Answer:

B. Jupiter
