Sure! Let's solve this step-by-step:
1. Understand the Problem: We need to determine the weight of an elephant on Jupiter. We know the weight of the elephant on Earth is 3,863 kilograms. We're also given that Jupiter's gravity is 2.3 times that of Earth.
2. Information Given:
- Weight of the elephant on Earth: 3,863 kg
- Gravitational pull on Jupiter compared to Earth: 2.3 times stronger
3. Calculation: To find the weight of the elephant on Jupiter, we multiply its weight on Earth by the gravitational multiplier of Jupiter.
[tex]\[
\text{Weight on Jupiter} = \text{Weight on Earth} \times \text{Gravity Factor on Jupiter}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values given:
[tex]\[
\text{Weight on Jupiter} = 3,863 \, \text{kg} \times 2.3
\][/tex]
4. Perform the Multiplication:
[tex]\[
\text{Weight on Jupiter} = 3,863 \times 2.3 = 8,884.9 \, \text{kg}
\][/tex]
5. Relationship:
- The weight on Jupiter (8,884.9 kg) is clearly more than the weight on Earth (3,863 kg).
Thus, the weight of the elephant on Jupiter would be 8,884.9 kilograms, which is more than on the Earth.
