Question

An object of 5kg mass has a weight of 8.15N on Moon.How much would an object of 8kg mass weigh on Moon? *

1 point

78.40N

49N

11.15N

13.04N


​

Answer 1

Answer:

4kg it will weigh because the weight halves

Answer 2

Given,

mass of object, m1 = 5 kg

weight of object on moon, w1 = 8.15 N

mass of object, m2 = 8 kg

To find,

Weight of object on moon, w2 whose mass is 8 kg

Solution,

Weight = Force exerted by object = mg

weight = mass × gravitational acceleration of Moon

∵ w1 = m1 × g

8.15 N = 5 × g

g = 1.63 m/s²                                                     (I)

w2 = m2 × g

Using value of g from equation (I)

w2 = 8 × 1.63

w2 = 13.04 N

Therefore, an object that weighs 8 kg mass will measure 13.04 N weight on Moon.
