Question

compare and calculate mass and weight of ram on the earth and the moon if the body mass of ram is 60Kg​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that,

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Here, mass =6kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the Earth =9.8m/s2

Acceleration due to gravity on the Moon =1.63m/2

Therefore,

Weight on the Earth =6×9.8=58.8N

And,

Weight on the Earth =6×1.63=9.8N

Answer 2

• Mass of Ram on the earth  = 60 kg,
• Weight of Ram on the earth = 588 N.

• Mass of Ram on the moon  = 60 kg.
• Weight of Ram on the moon =96 N.

Step by step calculations:

Given

Body Mass of Ram = 60 kg.

To calculate mass

• Mass of a body remains the same on earth as well as moon.
• Therefore, the mass of Ram on the earth and moon is 60 kg.
• Mass does not change from place to place.

To calculate weight

• Weight = mass x gravitational force.
• Gravitational force on earth is 9.8 N/kg.
• Gravitational force on moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of earth
• Therefore, gravitational force on the moon is 9.8/6 =1.6 N/kg.
• Using the formula,
• Weight on Earth = 60 x 9.8 =588N
• Weight on Earth = 60 x 1.6= 96N

• It can be concluded that mass(quantity of matter contained in an object remains the same at every place.
• Weight on Earth is much greater than on the moon due to the higher gravitational pull on Earth.
