Question

A man weighs 600 N on Earth. What is his mass ? (g = 10 ms–2). On Moon his weight would be 100 N. What is acceleration due to gravity on the Moon?

Answer 1

W=mg
600=mx10
m=60

On moon
W=mg
100=60xg
g= 10/6
g=1.67

Answer 2

Answer:

60 kg, 1.6m/s²

Explanation:

Weight on Earth = 600 N

gravity = 10m/s²

Weight = Force = mass * gravity

600 = mass * 10

mass = 60 kg

Weight on moon = 100 N

Weight on moon/mass = gravity on moon

100/6 = 1.6 m/s²
