5. Suppose an astronaut landed on a planet where g = 19.6 m/s². Compared to Earth, would it be easier, harder or just as easy for her to walk around? Would it be easier, harder or just as easy for her to catch a ball that is moving horizontally at 12 m/s? (Assume that the astronaut's spacesuit is a lightweight model that doesn't impede her movements in any way.)
