Which planet would a spaceship need the largest force to take off?
Weight = mass * gravitational field strength W = mg The force to lift off is the force to overcome the force of weight. As the mass doesn't change, the only variable affecting W is g, the gravitational field strength. Which planet has the highest gravitational field strength, and that is your answer. (you probably have this in a data book or something, for reference, earth's gravitational field strength is 9.81 ms^-2 , sometimes simplified to 9.8 or 10) Once you have worked out your answer, you should have got the planet: Jupiter. I hope this helped, Ibraheem.U
What is the gravitational field strength of Io?
94.3924million
What does the gravitational force between the moon and earth depend on?
Their masses. The strength of a planetary body's gravitational field is directly related to its mass, and its effect on an object is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the bodies.
What is the gravitational strength on Jupiter?
I only know a few; Mars - 3.73 N Jupiter - 25.93 N Saturn - 1.16 N if gravitational field strength' means the acceleration produced by a planet's mass, a = GMp/R² where G is the universal gravitational constant, Mp is the mass of the planet and R is the distance from the center of mass of the planet. just find the mass of the planet, g is constant, and then divide by the square of the distance....
What is the most powerful planet?
Jupiter. I mean it has the strongest gravitational field. It has the greatest magnetic field as well.
Why there will be a point between the earth and the moon at which the gravitational field strength will be zero?
There is a point where the gravitational field strength of both planet or object is equal, hence they cancel off each other, resulting in zero net gravitational field strength.
What is the gravitional field strength of the earth at its surface?
The gravitational field strength of a planet multiplied by an objects mass gives us the weight of that object, and that the gravitational field strength, g of Earth is equal to the acceleration of free fall at its surface, 9.81ms − 2.
What 2 factors would affect how thick a planet's atmosphere is?
The strength of the planet's gravitational field and exposure to solar wind.
What is Jupiters gravitational field strength?
Jupiters gravitational field strength is 25 Nkg^-1
Mercury's gravitational field strength?
Mercury's surface gravitational field strength is 0.38 times the Earth's.

What is the value of gravitational field strength on a planet with half Earth's mass and half its radius?
i guess it 's 39.2n.kg
If you produce a scatter graph of planet mass and gravitational field strength Mercury Saturn and Jupiter appear on one line of best fit and the rest on another Why?
The gravitational field strength at a standard distance is directly proportional to a planet's mass so the need for a scatter diagram is not immediately obvious.
Field strength of Uranus?
the gravitational field strength of uranus is 8.867 N/ Kg
What is relevant to calculating gravitational potential energy?
The strength of the gravitational field.
Is there any relationship between the mass of a planet and its gravitational field strength?
The relationship between the mass of a planet and its relative strength of gravitational pull is that they are directly proportional. The equation for the force of gravity between two bodies is F = GMm/r^2, where F is the force of gravity, G is the gravitational constant, M is mass 1, m is mass 2, and r is the distance between the objects.
What is the gravitational field strength of Io?
94.3924million
