The table below shows herman's mass and the mass of different planets in our solar system. If Herman were to stand on each planet, which list correctly orders the planets from most gravitational force to least graviational force? A) earth, mars, venus B) earth, venus, mars C) venus, mars,earth D) venus, earth, mars

1 answer

To determine the order of the planets from most gravitational force to least gravitational force, we need to consider the gravitational acceleration on each planet. The gravitational forces on different planets can be ranked based on the acceleration due to gravity (measured in meters per second squared) at their surfaces:

  1. Earth: approximately 9.81 m/s²
  2. Venus: approximately 8.87 m/s²
  3. Mars: approximately 3.71 m/s²

Using this information, we can rank the planets from the most gravitational force to the least:

  • Earth (9.81 m/s²)
  • Venus (8.87 m/s²)
  • Mars (3.71 m/s²)

Thus, the correct order from most gravitational force to least is:

A) Earth, Venus, Mars

So the answer to your question is not within the provided options. Based on the gravitational acceleration values, the closest correct ranking would be Earth, Venus, Mars (although not directly listed). However, if we need to rank the provided options based on the highest gravitational force (ignoring the 'B' option because it didn't match your expected result), the results would suggest "Earth, Venus, Mars."
