Question

WHOEVER GET IT RIGHT GETS 50 POINTS
Imagine you are part of a team planning to send an astronaut on a solar system “road trip.” To plan for this trip, the astronaut’s weight at each destination must be known. On Earth, the astronaut weighs 50 kilograms which is 490 Newtons. Using the data from the table, calculate the missing weight values. (The values for Earth are already known.) Then plot the gravity of each location—the moon, Mars, Earth, and Venus—versus the weight of the astronaut at each location.

Remember that w=mg where w is weight in Newtons, m is mass in kilograms, and g is gravity in

m/s2

. For example, for Earth, 445 N = 45.4 × 9.8

m/s2

:Notice that the x-axis values will be gravity in

m/s2

, which is already given in the table, and the y-axis values will be the weight in Newtons. Remember to round your weights to a whole number, and to enter the points starting with the lowest gravity (moon, then Mars, then Venus, then Earth).
