1. The weight of a body on earth is 98 N where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What
will be its
a. Mass (10 kg)
b. Weight on moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2 (16 N)
2. A man weighs 6000 N on earth. What would be his approximate weight on moon? Give reason
for your answer? (1/6th of earth)
3. What is the
a. Force of gravity
b. Weight of a block of mass 10.5 kg?
Take g = 10 m/s^2
4. A ball is released from a height and it reaches the ground in 3 s. If g= 9.8 m/s^2, find:
a. The height from which the ball was released. (44.1 m)
b. The velocity with which the ball will strike the ground. (29.4 m/s)
5. What force, in newton, your muscles need to apply to hold a mass of 5 kg in your hand? State
the assumptions. (49 N, Assume g = 9.8 N/kg)
