What is the weight (in pounds) of a 50 kg man on Earth? What is the mass of a stone with a gravitational force of 196 N on it? Calculate the weight of a 150 kg NFL lineman on Earth. First calculate the force in Newtons. Then convert the force (weight) to pounds (remember to use the equivalence statement for Newtons to pounds). Now calculate the weight of that same lineman on the Moon. (Remember that the gravitational acceleration on Moon is 1.6 m/s2) Gravitation acceleration is 26 m/s2 on Jupiter. Calculate the weight of the lineman on Jupiter. Two students are discussing the idea of weight. Read their ideas. Amara Victor What do you think about their ideas? A fruit has a mass of 1 kilogram. Use the table below to figure out what type of fruit it is. Fruit Weight Watermelon 6 lbs Cantaloupe 2.2 lbs Apple 0.5 lbs Challenge Yourself: These problems are about the same mathematical ideas, but are more challenging. Respond to these questions in your laboratory notebook and show your work. A 10 kg stone is dropped. It takes 3 seconds to reach a speed of 15 m/s from 0 m/s. What is the change in velocity? What is the stone’s acceleration?
