Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. this table gives the masses of several planets.
planet | mass (×10²⁴ kilograms)
mercury | 0.33
venus | 4.87
earth | 5.97
jupiter | 1,898
match each planet with the gravity near its surface.
mercury, venus, earth, jupiter
8.9 m/s², 9.8 m/s², 23.1 m/s², 3.7 m/s²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between mass and surface gravity (more mass generally means more gravity, considering radius too, but for these planets, mass trend matches gravity trend).

Step2: Order planets by mass: Mercury (0.33) < Venus (4.87) < Earth (5.97) < Jupiter (1898).

Step3: Order gravity values: 1.7 < 8.9 < 9.8 < 23.1.

Step4: Match: Mercury (lowest mass) → 1.7 m/s²; Venus (next) → 8.9 m/s²; Earth (next) → 9.8 m/s²; Jupiter (highest) → 23.1 m/s².

Answer:

Mercury → 1.7 m/s²
Venus → 8.9 m/s²
Earth → 9.8 m/s²
Jupiter → 23.1 m/s²
