Question

2. Why is the weight of an object on
1
the moon
th its weight on the
6
earth?​

Answer 1

Answer:

because the gravity on earth greater than moon

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since the gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th of the gravitational force of earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) at moon is 1/6th of that compared to earth. Therefore the weight (which is mass * acceleration due to gravity) or mg becomes m*g/6 and hence weight of an object weighs 1/6th as compared to that of earth.
