Question

7. A man weighs 600 N on the earth. What would
be his approximate weight on the moon ? Give
reason for your answer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

He would weigh 100N on the moon's surface.

Explanation:

'Cause in actuality the less gravity pulling on the surface of the moon (by 1/6th of the earth's gravitational force) makes the body weighs less even though it's mass still remains same. Furthermore, you can also consider that the weight of the body is the gravitational force acting on it. Therefore, the moon's gravitational force is 1/6th of the gravitational force of earth which makes weight of each object on the moon's surface also 1/6th as compared to it's weight on the earth's surface.
