the moon's gravity is about one-sixth the gravity on earth. mar's gravity is about one half the gravity on earth. make a bar graph that shows your weight (95 lbs) in newtons on earth, moon, and on mars. A newton is equal to about one quarter of a pound.
95 lbs= 95*4 Newtons according to the statement.
On the moon, it would be 1/6*95*4 N
To create the bar graph showing your weight in newtons on Earth, the Moon, and Mars, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert your weight from pounds to newtons.
- One pound is approximately equal to 0.25 newtons, as given. So, your weight of 95 pounds is equivalent to 95 * 0.25 = 23.75 newtons.
Step 2: Determine your weight on the Moon.
- Since the Moon's gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity, multiply your weight in newtons (23.75 N) by 1/6 or 0.1667 to find your weight on the Moon: 23.75 * 0.1667 = 3.96 newtons (approximately).
Step 3: Determine your weight on Mars.
- Since Mars' gravity is about one-half of Earth's gravity, multiply your weight in newtons (23.75 N) by 1/2 or 0.5 to find your weight on Mars: 23.75 * 0.5 = 11.875 newtons (approximately).
Step 4: Create a bar graph.
- Draw a vertical axis labeled "Weight (in newtons)".
- Label the horizontal axis with the names of the celestial bodies: Earth, Moon, and Mars.
- Choose a suitable scale for the vertical axis (e.g., starting from 0 to a maximum value of 25 newtons) and mark the intervals accordingly.
- Draw a rectangle/bar for each celestial body, representing the weight in newtons. The height of each bar corresponds to the weight value for that body.
- For Earth, the bar would have a height of 23.75 newtons.
- For the Moon, the bar would have a height of 3.96 newtons (approximately).
- For Mars, the bar would have a height of 11.875 newtons (approximately).
- Label each bar with the corresponding weight value (in newtons).
The resulting bar graph would display your weight in newtons on Earth, the Moon, and Mars.
