Question

an object of mass 42 kg on earth what will its mass and weight on the moon

Answer 1

Answer:

the mass of an object does not changes from place to place so masses seem on the moon that is 42 kg

but whereas weight of an object changes from place to place due to acceleration due to gravity .

earth is 9.8 metre per second 2

weight on earth is W=mg

=42X9.8=411.6N

acceleration due to gravity on moon is ge/6

Wmoon=42X9.8/6

= 68.6N

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Explanation:

we know that the fore of gravity on moon in is 1/6 times the gravity on earth

Therefore, mass on moon=1/6 of mass on earth

=>mass on moon=1/6 of 42

=>mass on moon=7
