emergency?please?help

Calculate oNlars (the acceleration due to gravity on the planet Mars) using Eq. 3.2b. The mass of the planet Mars is M mars = 6.42 x 1023 kg and its average radius is R mars = 3.40x 106 m. Show all of the steps in your calculations. What would your weight be on the planet Mars (use an estimated value)? Conversion Note: a weight of 1 lb. is approximately equal to 4.448222 N on the Earth. After computing your mass in kilograms, calculate your weight in Newtons on Mars and then convert it back to pounds. If you could jump vertically 5 feet on Earth, how high would you be able to jump on the Planet Mars? Show all of your calculations

Explanation / Answer

a)
a = G*M/R^2
=(6.673*10^-11)*(6.42*10^23) / (3.4*10^6)^2
=3.71 m/s^2
Answer: 3.71 m/s^2
b)
My weight is 60 Kg
So my weight will be 60*3.71 =16.2 N
c)
Max height = Vo^2/(2*g)
so,
height (earth) / height (mars) = a(mars)/a(earth)
(5) / height (mars) =3.71/9.8
height (mars) =13.2 ft
