Question

9.Prove that the weight of an object is 1/6th on the Earth ​

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. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.

Hey!

Given=mass of moon=7.36×10^22

mass of earth=6.37×10^24

radius of moon=1.74×10^6

g=GMm/Rm^2

g=6.67×10^-11*7.36×10^22/(1.74×10^6)^2

g=1.6ms-2

we can put the value of g=9.8ms-2

so,gm/ge=1.6/9.8=1/6
