Question:

Caught without a map again, Hayley lands her spacecraft on an unknown planet. Visibility is poor, but she finds someone on a local communications channel and asks for directions to Earth. "You're already on Earth," is the reply, "Wait there and I'll be right over." Hayley is suspicious, however, so she drops a lead ball of mass 76.5 g from the top of her ship, 18 m above the surface of the planet. It takes 2.5 s to reach the ground.

(a) If Hayley's mass is 68.5 kg, what is her weight on this planet?

(b) Is she on Earth?
