The weight of bodies may change somewhat from one location to another as a result of the variation of the gravitational acceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variation using the relation g = a − bz where a = 9.807 m/s2 and b = 3.32 × 10−6 s−2, determine the weight of an 80-kg person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m), and on the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).

On Mars, a ball is rolling from a ground to a hill, and we know the height of the hill, Z, is 10 m, and the initial velocity ofthe ball on the ground and the final velocity on the hill are known: V1 = 20 m/s and V2 = 10 m/s, respectively. The mass ofthe ball, m, is 4 kg. The gravitational acceleration on Mars, gMars, is 3.7 m/s2. Please calculate 1) the change in kineticenergy, ΔKE, in J and 2) the change in potential energy, ΔPE, in J, of the ball for the rolling process.
