EXAMPLE 3.2 Computing Weight, in Shipmen page 60 What is the weight (in newtons) of a 1.0-kg mass on (a) the Earth (b) the Moon [gM = 25 = 1.6 m/s²] Confidence Exercise 3.2, page 60 On the surface of Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 0.39 times that on the Earth. What would a kilogram weigh in newtons on Mars? (3 points) SHORT ANSWER #12, page 77 A 10-kg rock and a 1-kg rock are dropped simultaneously from the same height.
