A 71.8 kg man goes from an area where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.79 m/s\(^2\) to an area where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.82 m/s\(^2\).

What is the change (in kilograms) to the mass of the man? Respond to three significant digits expressed as a.bc and record your responses for a, b, and c in that order.

Answer (2)

Mass doesn't change, no matter where you take it. Your first impression of ' 0 ' is totally correct.

The man's mass remains constant at 71.8 kg regardless of the change in gravitational acceleration. Thus, the change in mass as he moves from one location to another is 0 kg. In the format requested, the values for a, b, and c are all 0.
