Suppose you can communicate with the inhabitants of a planet in another solar system. They tell you that on their planet, whose diameter and mass are 5.0103km and 3.61023kg , respectively, the record for the high jump is 2.0 m. Given that this record is close to 2.4 m on Earth, what would you conclude about your extraterrestrial friends’ jumping ability?
Solving Problems with Newton’s Laws To sirmulate the apparent weightlessness of space orbit, astronauts are trained in the hold of a cargo aircraft that is accelerating downward at Why do they appear to be weightless, as measured by standing on a bathroom scale, in this accelerated frame of reference? Is there any difference between their apparent weightlessness on orbit and in the aircraft?
The gravitational force exerted on an astronaut on the Earths surface is 650 N directed downward. When she is in the space station in orbit around the Earth, is the gravitational force on her (a) larger, (b) exactly the same, (c) smaller, (d) nearly but not exactly zero, or (e) exactly zero?
A body on the surface of a planet with the same radius as Earth’s weighs 10 times more than it does on Earth. What is the mass of this planet in terms of Earth’s mass?
Action at a distance, such as is the case for gravity, was once thought to be illogical and therefore untrue. What is the ultimate determinant of the truth in science, and why was this action at a distance ultimately accepted?
How much does a woman of mass 50 kg weigh on the earth’s surface? Whatwould be her mass 400,000 km above the earth’s surface?
An object has a weight of 690 Newton on earth, specify (a) its mass in kilograms, (b) its weight in pound-force, and (c) its mass in slugs. If the object is on other celestial objects,where the gravitational acceleration is g = 5.50 ft/s2, determine (d) its mass in kilograms, and (e) its weight in pounds-force.

If the weight of an astronaut plus their space suit on the moon is only 255 N. With the W = 255 N. How much would they weigh on Earth, in newtons assuming the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 meters per squared second?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is approximately 1/6 of that at the surface of the Earth. What is the weight of an astronaut standing on the moon whose weight on Earth is 79 N?
An igneous rock has a mass of 5 Kg. What is its weight on the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one sixth that on Earth? What is ist weight in Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.64 times that on Earth?
If the weight of an astronaut plus their space suit on the moon is only 255 N. With the W = 255 N. How much would they weigh on Earth, in newtons assuming the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 meters per squared second? In this context, what would the mass of the astronaut in their space suite be both on the Moon and on Earth in kilograms?
