Question

Find the weight in newton of a 10 kg object on a) the Earth b) the moon. First and correct answer will be marked as brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) On surface of Earth

$F = 98 N$

2) On surface of moon

$F = 16.33 N$

Explanation:

As we know that the weight of the person on the the surface of planet is product of mass and gravity on the surface of planet

So here we will have

1) On surface of Earth

$F = mg$

$F = 10 (9.81 m/s^2)$

$F = 98 N$

2) On surface of moon

the acceleration due to gravity on surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on the Earth

So we have

$F = m\frac{g}{6}$

$F = 10 (\frac{9.81 m/s^2}{6})$

$F = 16.33 N$
