Question

A classmate claims that if Jupiter’s Galilean moons were all the same distance from Jupiter, they would all experience the same amount of gravitational force.  Using what you have learned and the evidence from the data table how would you respond to his claim?

(a) His claim is incorrect; if the moons were at an equal distance from Jupiter; then the pull of gravity would be the strongest on Ganymede because it has the greatest mass

(b) his claim is incorrect; if the moon were at an equal distance from Jupiter; then the pull of gravity would be the strongest on Europa; because it has the smallest mass

(c) his claim is incorrect; if the moon were at an equal distance from Jupiter; then the pull of gravity from Jupiter would be experienced equally by all four moons.

(d) his claim is incorrect; if the moon were at an equal distance from Jupiter; then the pull of gravity would be the strongest on Ganymede because it is the largest moon
