Question

Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only1/6 as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight
in newtons of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of the object, m=10 kg

Acceleration due to gravity at earth, ge=9.8 ms−2

∴ Weight of the object on earth, W=mge=10×9.8=98 N

Acceleration 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

Answer 2

Hiii MATe

Mass of the object, m=10 kg

Acceleration due to gravity at earth, g

e

=9.8 ms

−2

∴ Weight of the object on earth, W=mg

e

=10×9.8=98 N

Acceleration due to gravity at moon, g

m

=

6

1

×9.8=1.63 ms

−2

∴ Weight of the object on moon, W=mg

m

=10×1.63=16.3 N
