Answer 1

Explanation:

A man weighs 100 N on earth. What is his

weighs 100 N on earth. What is his mass? (g = 10 m/s). On moon his weight would

be 100 N. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon?

The weight of the person changes if when they move to another planet

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight on earth = 600N

Let g= 10m/s

2

on earth

Mass on earth =

10

600

=60 kg

Now, since mass is a constant quantity so, it will remain 60 kg on the moon also.

Now, weight on moon = mg

′

m= mass =60 kg

g

′

= acc. due to gravity on moon =

th

the value on earth

So, Weight on moon =

th

of the weight on earth

⇒ Weight on the moon =600×
