a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet Mars.
I found this to be about 3.7 m/sec^2
b) What would your weight be on the planet Mars if you weighed 130 lbs?
c) If you could jump vertically 5 ft on earth, how high would you be able to jump on mars?
I'm just having trouble with these two.
