The weight of an object on each planet is proportional to the force of gravity in that planet’s atmosphere. The force of gravity on planet Earth is approximately 9.81 meters squared. the force of the gravity on mars is 0.38 meters squared. . If Hill weighs 128 pounds on Earth, how much would he weigh on Mars? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find out how much Hill would weigh on Mars, we can use the proportionality between weight and the force of gravity.
Weight on Earth / Force of gravity on Earth = Weight on Mars / Force of gravity on Mars
We are given that Hill weighs 128 pounds on Earth and the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81 meters squared. The force of gravity on Mars is 0.38 meters squared. Let's plug these values into the formula:
128 / 9.81 = Weight on Mars / 0.38
Now, we can solve for the weight on Mars:
Weight on Mars = (128 / 9.81) * 0.38
Weight on Mars ≈ 4.15 pounds
Therefore, Hill would weigh approximately 4.15 pounds on Mars.
try again
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it:
To find out how much Hill would weigh on Mars, we can use the proportionality between weight and the force of gravity.
Weight on Earth / Force of gravity on Earth = Weight on Mars / Force of gravity on Mars
We are given that Hill weighs 128 pounds on Earth and the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81 meters squared. The force of gravity on Mars is 0.38 meters squared. Let's plug these values into the formula:
128 / 9.81 = Weight on Mars / 0.38
Now, we can solve for the weight on Mars:
Weight on Mars = (128 / 9.81) * 0.38
Weight on Mars ≈ 4.98 pounds
Therefore, Hill would weigh approximately 4.98 pounds on Mars.
still wrong lmao
Apologies for the repeated mistake. Let's correct it again:
To find out how much Hill would weigh on Mars, we can use the proportionality between weight and the force of gravity.
Weight on Earth / Force of gravity on Earth = Weight on Mars / Force of gravity on Mars
We are given that Hill weighs 128 pounds on Earth and the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81 meters squared. The force of gravity on Mars is 0.38 meters squared. Let's plug these values into the formula:
128 / 9.81 = Weight on Mars / 0.38
Now, we can solve for the weight on Mars:
Weight on Mars = (128 / 9.81) * 0.38
Weight on Mars ≈ 4.96 pounds
Therefore, Hill would weigh approximately 4.96 pounds on Mars.
Apologies once again for the initial incorrect response. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
To determine how much Hill would weigh on Mars, we can use the ratio of the forces of gravity on Earth and Mars.
First, let's calculate the weight of Hill on Mars using the given information:
Weight on Earth = 128 pounds
Force of gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²
Force of gravity on Mars = 0.38 m/s²
We can set up a proportion to solve for Hill's weight on Mars:
Weight on Earth / Force of gravity on Earth = Weight on Mars / Force of gravity on Mars
Plugging in the given values:
128 pounds / 9.81 m/s² = Weight on Mars / 0.38 m/s²
To solve for Weight on Mars, we can cross-multiply and divide:
Weight on Mars = (128 pounds * 0.38 m/s²) / 9.81 m/s²
Weight on Mars = 4.864 pounds
So, Hill would weigh approximately 4.86 pounds on Mars, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
