5. A backpack weighs 8.2 newtons and has a mass of 5 kg on the moon. What is the strength of gravity on the moon? (Be careful with units, remember 1N = 1 kg · m/s^2) 6. A physical science test book has a mass of 2.2 kg. a. What is the weight on Earth? b. What is the weight on Mars (g = 3.7 m/s^2)? c. If the textbook weighs 19.6 newtons on Venus, what is the strength of gravity on Venus? 7. Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. a. If a 0.5 kg pair of running shoes would weigh 11.55 newtons on Jupiter, what is the strength of gravity there? b. If the same pair of shoes weighs 0.3 newtons on Pluto, what is the strength of gravity on Pluto? c. What does the pair of shoes weigh on Earth?
