You sit on Earth taking a physics test.
a. What is the force of gravity from the planet Jupiter (mass = 1.9 * 1027kg) pulling on you (mass = 75kg) right now (distance = 5.9 * 1011m)?
b. What is the force of gravity between you (still m = 75kg) and the Earth? HINT: you don’t need the mass of the Earth for this, just Newton’s second law!
c. The Mass of Jupiter is over 300 times the mass of Earth. Why is the force of gravity on you from Jupiter so small compared to the force from Earth if Jupiter is so much bigger?
