An astronaut, who weighs 805 N on Earth, lands on a planet that has three times the mass and twice the radius of Earth. What is the astronaut’s weight on this new planet? Show your work.
Homework Answers
Ee can find the change in gravity on another planet as compared to the earth and then equate it to the mass to find the weight of astronaut on another planet.
Calculation is as shown below.

Planet X has 20 times the mass of the earth and 3 times the earth's radius. It orbits star Y at a distance of 8 AU, where 1 AU is the earth-sun distance. Star Y has twice the mass of our sun. (a) What is the orbital period of Planet X in years? (b) An astronaut has an earth weight of 120 lbs. What is her weight on the surface of planet X?

An astronaut weighs 850 N on the Earth’s surface. When the astronaut lands on Planet X, she weighs 190 N. To the nearest tenth of a m/s2, what is the acceleration of gravity on Planet X? (hint: first find her mass!) An elevator car loaded with two passengers has a mass of 1200 kg. What tension must be applied by the elevator cable to give the car an acceleration of 1 m/s2 upward? Round your answer to the nearest newton....

A spherical planet has 12 times the earth's mass and has three times the earth's radius. It orbits a star with 5 times the sun's mass with an orbital period of 7 years. If an alien spaceship weighs 180 Zorgs on the alien planet (where a Zorg is the alien unit of weight), then what is the weight of their spaceship on earth in Zorgs?

A new Earth size planet has been discovered in a distant star system. The planet has six times the mass of Earth and has a radius of twice the radius of the Earth. Do NOT mix or change system of units! There is an equation in the posted handout for solving this problem. If you do not use it you will only receive 1 point for this problem no matter your answer. What is the acceleration due to gravity on...

Jupiter is 300 times more massive than the Earth and 10 times the diameter of the Earth. An astronaut lands on a planet that is the mass of Jupiter but the same radius as the Earth. On this planet the force of gravity is: a) The same as on the surface of Jupiter b) Between that on the Earth and the surface of Jupiter c) The same as on the Earth d) A little bit higher than on the the...
