Question

An object of mass 25 kg is placed on the surface of earth calculate its weights on earth also calculate weight on moon

Answer 1

Answer:

weight on moon is 1/6th of weight of earth.

weight on earth= 25×9.8= 245

Therefore, weight on moon is= 40.8.

Answer 2

Given:

Mass of object = 25 kg

To find: Weight of object on moon

Calculation:

• Weight of any object is the force due to gravity acting on that mass of object.
• Weight = mg, where m is the mass of object and g is the gravitational acceleration which is 9.8 $m/s^{2}$.
• Weight of object on earth = mg = 25 * 9.8 = 245 Newton

• g on moon is $\frac{1}{6}$th of that of earth.

So, weight on moon = $\frac{1}{6} *245=40.8$ Newton

Answer:

Weight of the object on moon = 40.8N
