Question

An astronaut has a mass of 125 kilograms on Earth. He then travels to Neptune. On Earth g = 9.8 m/s^2; on Neptune g = 1.1 m/s^2

Answer 1

weight of Astronaut on Earth :

• 
  `mass * acceleration \: \: due \: \: to \: \: earth`

• 
  `125 * 9.8`

• 
  `1225 \: \: \: newtons`

weight of Astronaut on Neptune :

• 
  `mass * accelertion \: \: due \: \: to \: \: neptune`

• 
  `125 * 1.1`

• 
  `137.5 \: \: newtons`
