An astronaut wants to know how much she would weigh on different moons.
She measures her mass on Earth to be 75 kg. She researches the values of g g\,g on different moons and uses these values to calculate her weight.
The results are shown in the table below.
| Name of moon | ggg / N kg−1\text{N kg}^{-1}N kg−1 | Calculated weight / N\text{N}N | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Europa | 1.3 | 58 |
| B | Triton | 0.78 | 59 |
| C | Ganymede | 1.4 | 10.5 |
| D | Enceladus | 0.11 | 0.0015 |
Which weight is calculated correctly?
Europa
Triton
Ganymede
Enceladus
