question 3 (5 points)
the gravitational force on jupiter is 2.87. what happens to your weight there?
o a it stays the same
o b it becomes one - third
o c it is almost tripled
o d it becomes zero

Explanation:

Question 1

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant. Weight is the force of gravity on an object, \(F = mg\) (where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity). Since \(g\) can change (e.g., on different planets), weight changes with gravity while mass stays constant.

The length of a jump is inversely related to the gravitational force. The lower the gravity, the longer the jump. Pluto has the lowest gravity among the given options (Neptune, Earth, Pluto, Uranus).

Weight \(W=mg\). If \(g_{Jupiter}=2.87g_{Earth}\) (assuming \(g_{Earth}\) is the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Let \(W_{Earth}=mg_{Earth}\) and \(W_{Jupiter}=mg_{Jupiter}\). Then \(W_{Jupiter}=m\times2.87g_{Earth}\approx3mg_{Earth}\) (if we consider approximate whole - number multiple for simplicity). So weight is almost tripled.

Answer:

b. Weight changes with gravity, mass stays constant
