The planet jupiter is about 300 times as massive as earth, yet on its surface you would weigh only about 3 times as much. this is because
a. your mass is 100 times less on jupiter
b. jupiter is significantly farther from the sun
c. jupiter's radius is 10 times the earth's radius
d. you are 100 times more weightless there n
e. one of these

c. Jupiter's radius is 10 times the Earth's radius

Explanation:

The weight of a person on the surface of a planet is equal to the gravitational pull exerted by the planet on the person:

where

is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the person

R is the radius of the planet

The weight of a person on Earth is given by:

where is the mass of the Earth and is the Earth's radius.

We know that Jupiter's mass is 300 times the Earth's mass:

while Jupiter's radius is 10 times the Earth's radius:

So, the weight of the person on Jupiter is

So, the weight would be only 3 times as much.

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
