Question

Gravitational force on the surface of the moon
is only 1/6strong as gravitational
force on earth. What is the weight in
newtons of a 20 kg body on the moon
and on the earth( g=98 mm)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of the object, m=10 kg

Mass of the object, m=10 kgAcceleration due to gravity at earth, ge=9.8 ms−2

Mass of the object, m=10 kgAcceleration due to gravity at earth, ge=9.8 ms−2∴ Weight of the object on earth, W=mge=10×9.8=98 N

Mass of the object, m=10 kgAcceleration due to gravity at earth, ge=9.8 ms−2∴ Weight of the object on earth, W=mge=10×9.8=98 NAcceleration due to gravity at moon, gm=61×9.8=1.63  ms−2

Mass of the object, m=10 kgAcceleration due to gravity at earth, ge=9.8 ms−2∴ Weight of the object on earth, W=mge=10×9.8=98 NAcceleration due to gravity at moon, gm=61×9.8=1.63  ms−2∴ Weight of the object on moon, W=mgm=10×1.63=16.3 N
