Question

An object weights 600 N when measured on the
surface of earth. What would be its mass when
measured on the surface of the moon? [g = 10 m/
s²]​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 kg

Explanation:

Given :

• An object weighs 600 Newtons on the surface of the earth

• Gravitational acceleration = g = 10 m/s²

To find :

• Mass of the object on the surface of the moon

Weight = mass × Gravitational acceleration

600 = mass × 10

mass = 600/10

mass = 60 kg

The mass is constant wherever it is taken but the weight changes its quantity with change in acceleration value

So, Mass of the object on the surface of moon = 60 kg
