An astronaut is planning a trip to a newly-discovered planet. According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the astronaut's weight on the new planet will be greater than his weight on Earth if:

• the new planet has less gravity than Earth.

• the new plant has the same gravity as Earth.

• the new planet has more gravity than Earth.

• the gravity on the planet doesn't matter. Weight is the same everywhere in the universe.

If the same force is applied to each ball, which one will have the LEAST acceleration?

A firefighter feels the hose pushing backwards onto him as he uses it to put out a fire.

What is the most likely cause of this?

• The hose material is very elastic.

• Since the hose is at rest, it tends to stay at rest.

• The force exerted on the water equals the mass of the water times its acceleration.

• The escaping water exerts an equal and opposite fore on the hose.
