  1. What is weight?
    b The force exerted on a body by gravity.

  2. On Earth - your weight will change depending on ______.
    c your mass

  3. The weight of this pony on Earth is 1960 N. How much will the pony weigh on Neptune? Gravity on Neptune has a value of 11.28 m/s².
    To find the pony's weight on Neptune, we can use the formula:

Weight = mass x gravity

First, we need to find the mass of the pony using its weight on Earth:

Weight (Earth) = mass x gravity (Earth)
1960 N = mass x 9.8 m/s²
mass = 1960 N / 9.8 m/s²
mass ≈ 200 kg

Now we can calculate the weight of the pony on Neptune:

Weight (Neptune) = mass x gravity (Neptune)
Weight (Neptune) = 200 kg x 11.28 m/s²
Weight (Neptune) ≈ 2256 N

So, the answer is c 2256 N.
