Question

8) The mass of the moon is 1/100 times and it's radius is 1/4 times that of the

earth. As a result the gravitational attraction on the moon is about 1/6th when

compared to the earth. Hence the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th it's

weight on the earth.



(i) Define mass (ii) Define weight

(iii) What is the mass of an object whose weight is 49 N (g = 9.8 m/s^2)

(iv) The weight of a man on the surface of the earth is 588 N.

What is his weight on the moon?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth.

so you can solve simply by this method......

and this is teach in 9th Physicas but I didn't join online class.....so that's why I only no.......smothing
