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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

try again

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

still wrong lmao

Answer 5

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.
