b. the force needed to accelerate a 1-pound mass at 1 ft/s2.
c. the acceleration resulting when a 1-kilogram mass moves 1 m/s2.
d. the acceleration of a 1-pound mass moving at 1 m/s2.
e. the force needed to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass to a speed of 1 m/s.

Question 2

If objects on the Moon weigh 1/6 the amount they weigh on Earth, what should one conclude about the mass of objects on the Moon?
a. Nothing. The mass of objects are the same everywhere.
b. The mass of objects are 1/6 as much on the Moon as on Earth.
c. Objects on the Moon have the same mass as they do on Earth, but they appear to weigh less because of the absence of an atmosphere on the Moon.
d. The mass becomes zero on the Moon because orbiting Earth removes the effect of gravitation.
e. The mass on the Moon will be 6 times as large as on Earth.
