6. A woman has a mass of 30 kg on earth (9am.-9.8m/s*). What is her weight?
7. The same 30 kg woman weighs 245 N on Ceres. What is the acceleration due to gravity on
Ceres?
8. A man in the "Strong Man" competition pushes a 1500 kg vehicle with an acceleration of 3 m/s2?
How much force did the man exert on the vehicle?
9. Using your answer from the previous question, what force did the vehicle exert on the man?
Use the orders of magnitude you found in the previous problem to answer the following questions to within an order of magnitude.
(d) How many Moon atmospheres would it take to equal the mass of Earth’s atmosphere?
(e) How many moons would it take to equal the mass of Earth?
(f) How many protons would it take to equal the mass of the Sun?
