Question

an astronaut has a weight 600n on earth but when he arrived on the moon his weight has changed to 100N.Explain the change

Answer 1

Explanation:

hope this answer will help you

Answer 2

Explanation:

See this change is simple.

We all know that the force of gravity is 1/6th of that of the earth.

this is because

on earth

g = GM/D²

Radius of earth = 4 times radius of moon.

mass of earth = 100 times mass of moon.

So, on moon

g' = G 100M/(4D)²

=100/16 GM/D

=6.25 GM/D

=6 g on Earth approx.

since g on moon = 1/6 g on earth

∴ it is obvious that w on moon will also be 1/6 of that on Earth.

thus 600 N on earth = 100 N on moon.
