The astronaut's mass doesn't change.  It's the same wherever he goes,
because it doesn't depend on what else is around him.

His weight depends on what else is near him, so it changes, depending
on where he is.

         Weight  =  (mass) x (gravity)

On Earth,  Weight = (145 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)  =  1,422.5 newtons.
                                                               (about 320 pounds)

On the moon, Weight = (145 kg) x (1.62 m/s²)  =  234.9 newtons.
                                                                   (about 53 pounds)

How do you find the speed of a hraph
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

If an object moves along a straight line, the distance traveled can be represented by a distance-time graph. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

s = 23.72 m

v = 21.56 m/s²  

Explanation:

given

time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

we know that

a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

   u = 0 m/s

   g = 9.8 m/s²

   s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.2²

  s = 23.72 m

b) impact velocity

      v = √(2gh)

      v = √(2× 9.8 × 23.72)    

      v =  √464.912

      v = 21.56 m/s²
