B. Calculate your mass by converting your weight to kilograms. One pound equals approxi- mately 0.45 kilograms, so if you multiply your weight in pounds by 0.45, you will find your
mass in kilograms.
c. Convert your weight into grams by moving the decimal point three places to the right.
(Your mass in grams will be a much larger number than your weight in kilograms because
there are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram.)
. Assuming that one newton is about the weight of 100 grams on Earth, how many newtons
of downward force do you exert on Earth?
Since the moon's gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity, what would you weigh on the
moon? State your weight in pounds. (Hint: you have to multiply your weight by ;-)
