Question

w = 64.4 n
w = 399 n
how many times
heavier is this person
on uranus than on
ganymede?
remember: w=mg
ganymede
uranus
6.20 times as heavy
4.53 times as heavy
7.00 times as heavy
their weight is the
same

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the weights

Weight on Ganymede, \( w_{G} = 64.4 \, \text{N} \)
Weight on Uranus, \( w_{U} = 399 \, \text{N} \)

Step2: Calculate the ratio

To find how many times heavier the person is on Uranus than on Ganymede, we take the ratio of the weight on Uranus to the weight on Ganymede.
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{w_{U}}{w_{G}} = \frac{399}{64.4}
\]

Step3: Perform the division

\[
\frac{399}{64.4} \approx 6.20
\]

Answer:

6.20 times as heavy
