When a woman of mass 65.0 kg weighs herself on a platform which is a distance of 1.50×10^7 m above the surface of this planet, the scale reads 1200 N. a) What is the mass of Planet X? b) What is the gravitational field (g value) on the surface of planet x?arrow_forwardEvery few months, memes circulate claiming that certain alignments of the planets with the Earth will result in a change in the gravitational force you feel. Usually, these memes state that the alignment will counteract Earth's gravity slightly so you will feel less of a gravitational pull towards the Earth. Can this ever happen? Let's look at the numbers. What is the gravitational force (in N) of the Earth on you (ME = 5.97 ✕ 1024 kg, RE = 6380 km)? Say your mass is 68 kg. (Enter the magnitude.) What is the gravitational force (in N) of Jupiter on you when it is closest to Earth (MJ = 1.90 ✕ 1027 kg, RJE = 5.88 ✕ 108 km)? (Enter the magnitude.) By what factor would the mass of Jupiter need to increase to be equal to the gravitational force you feel from the Earth? Part 1 of 5 The gravitational force between two masses is given by Fg = −GMm r2 where G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 m3/s2/kg. We can use this expression to determine the magnitude of the gravitational force you feel…arrow_forward
