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 m/s2. The force of gravity on Mars is 0.38 m/s2. If Hill weighs 128 pounds on Earth, how much would he weigh on Mars? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

To find the weight of Hill on Mars, we need to calculate the proportion between the forces of gravity on Earth and Mars.

Weight on Mars = (Gravity on Mars / Gravity on Earth) * Weight on Earth

Weight on Mars = (0.38 m/s^2 / 9.81 m/s^2) * 128 pounds

Weight on Mars ≈ (0.0387) * 128 pounds

Weight on Mars ≈ 4.9663 pounds

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, Hill would weigh approximately 4.97 pounds on Mars.

To find Hill's weight on Mars, we need to calculate the ratio of the force of gravity on Mars to the force of gravity on Earth and then multiply that ratio by Hill's weight on Earth.

Weight on Mars = (Gravity on Mars / Gravity on Earth) * Weight on Earth

Weight on Mars = (0.38 m/s^2 / 9.81 m/s^2) * 128 pounds

Weight on Mars ≈ (0.03875) * 128 pounds

Weight on Mars ≈ 4.96 pounds

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, Hill would weigh approximately 4.96 pounds on Mars.
