Question

An astronaut has a mass of 80 kg. a Calculate the weight of the astronaut on the Moon where the gravitational field strength is 1.6 N/kg. b On the journey back to Earth, the astronaut reaches a point X where the gravitational field strengths due to the Earth and the Moon are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. State i the resultant value of gravitational field strength at X.
ii) the weight of astronaut at X​

Answer 1

Answer:

here's the answer i hope it helps you,if it's wrong you can report it

Explanation:

My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N.

Answer 2

Answer:

mass is 80kg and if we multiply it by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N.
