Question

Find the weight of the 80 kg man on the surface of the moon. What should be
his mass on the earth and on the moon? (g e = 9.8 m/s^2; g m =1.63 m/s^2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

We would take the mass given, 80 kg, and multiply it times the acceleration of Earth's downward pull on that mass, 9.8 m/s/s. So the weight on Earth is 784 newtons. So the weight of the same 80 kg mass on the moon is 133.28 N
