Question

We all know the Earth exerts gravity on us, but other objects in the solar system also pull on us. In the following series of problems we will investigate how strong gravity is for a person standing on the surface of the Earth from various objects in the solar system. You can answer the following series of questions using Newton's Law of Gravity; use the units given and the Gravitational Constant, G = 6.67 ×10

11: When Jupiter is on the same side of the Sun as the Earth the distance between the Earth and Jupiter can be as small as

6.30×10¹¹m

. Knowing this, what is the maximum force of gravity due to Jupiter on a 60.0 kg ASTR 110 student standing on the equator during Spring Break. DATA: Mass of Jupiter =

1.90×10²⁷ kgusing the right formula: Fg = (G M1 M2 / d^2)

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

Mass of the students is m=60 kg
Mass of the Jupiter is $M = 1.90 \times 10^{27} kg$
Equitorial distance is $r = 6.30 \times 10^{11} m$

The expression for the force of gravity is given by:

$F = G \frac{M m}{r^{2}}$

Here, G is the gravitational constant.
