Question

A man weighs 600N on the surface of the earth. What would be his mass and weight on the surface of the moon ? (take of gearth= 10m/s2)

Answer 1

F = ma

F = 600

a = g = 10m/s

m = ?

F = ma

F/a = m

600/10 = m

60 kg is his mass on earth

mass will never change wherever you go

so mass on moon is = 60kg

weight on moon is 1/6 of weight on earth

so , 1/6*600 = 100N

hi weight on moon is 100N and mass is 60kg

pls mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Points to note:

1) Mass of an object remains constant anywhere.

2) Weight of an object varies depending on the gravitational acceleration of the surface.

Important constants are as follows:

Gravitational constant on moon = 1.62 m/s²

Gravitational constant on earth = 10 m/s²

Force = Mass × acceleration

Now :

600 = 10 × m

m = 600/10 = 60 kg

The weight of the man on moon is givn as :

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration on moon.

Weight on  moon = 1.62 × 60 = 97.2

= 97.2 N
