Answer Questions 1-6 in terms of the CHANGE in their magnitude from the original situation.
In other words, you should answer something like: "2 or 9 times, or half or one third, or the same".
Don't give me your weight in Newtons (or pounds), but rather the ratio between what it is in the scenario
described in the problem, vs what it was before.
Also, note that nothing changes except what's described! So for example in #1, the, Earth's mass changes, but
the radius and density stay the same.
1. Compared to your current weight, what would happen to your weight if the mass of the Earth was
three times greater than it is now? "My weight would be
what it is now".
2. Compared to your current weight, what would happen to your weight if the radius of the Earth was
three times greater than it is now? "My weight would be
what it is now".
3. Compared to your current weight, what would happen to your weight if BOTH the radius and the mass
of the Earth were three times greater than they are now?
"My weight would be
what it is now".
4. Compared to your current weight, what would happen to your weight if BOTH the mass of the Earth,
AND YOUR mass, were three times greater than they are now?
"My weight would be
what it is now".
