Question

an object has mass of 20 kg on earth.what will be its mass and weight on the surface of the moon? (g on moon = 1.6 m/s2 )

Answer 1

mass=20/6 kg and weight=20*1.6 i.e. 32.6 kg

Answer 2

Hello mate

Here's the answer.....

The gravitational force of Earth is 9.8m/s sq

W=m×g ............eq(1)

m= 20kg

g= 9.8m/s

Put in eq(1)

W= mg

W= 20kg×9.8 = 196N

The weight on earth is 196kg

On moon.....

(I) Mass on moon is 20 kg

(Mass is constant and do not change)

(II) W=mg

(M=20kg, g=1.6m/s)

W=mg

W= 20×1.6

W=32N

So , the mass of the object on the moon is 20kg and the weight of the object on the moon is 32N

Hope it helps u.....
