Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

A player at first base catches a throw traveling 38 m/s. The baseball, which has a mass of 0.145 kg, comes to a complete stop in
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

F = 39.36 N

Explanation:

given,

initial speed, u = 38 m/s

final speed, v = 0 m/s

mass of ball = 0.145 Kg

time, t = 0.14 s

Force = ?

using impulse formula

J = change in momentum

J = F x t

m(v - u) = F x t

0.145 x (0 - (-38)) = F x 0.14

F x 0.14 = 5.51

F = 39.36 N

force exerted by the ball is equal to 39.36 N.
