Question

Calculate weight of an object on moon if his weight on earth is 480N

Answer 1

Answer:

80N

Explanation:

because weight of object on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth

Answer 2

Answer:

77.76 N

Explanation:

weight of an object = (mass of the object) * (gravity)

w = mg

now, given that weight of an object on earth = 480 N

w = 480N= mg, (where g is the gravity of the earth that is 9.8 or 10 m/s^2)

=>480 = m(10m/s^2)

=>480/10 = m

=>48 = m

now, gravity of the moon = 1.62 m/s^2

then, w = mg

=>w = 48*1.62

=>w = 77.76 N
