Question

1)a person weighs 110.84 n on the moon ,whose acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of that the earth.if the value of g on the earth is 9.8m/s2,then calculate(a)g on the moon (b)mass of person on the moon (c)weight of person on the earth 2)how does the value of g on the earth is related to the mass of the earth and its radius?derive it solution

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 1.63m/s²

(b) 68kg

(c) 666.4N

Explanation:

(a) g on the moon

= g/6 = 9.8m/s²/6 = 1.63m/s².

(b) mass of person on the moon

= 110.84/1.63 kg = 68kg.

(c) weight of person on the earth

= mass x g = 68kg x 9.8m/s² = 666.4N.
