Question

If a body weighs 12N on the surface of the earth, how much will it weigh on the surface of the moon where acceleration due to gravity is only one-sixth of that on earth's surface?
A) 12N
B) 2N
C) 10N
D) 6N

Answer 1

$\huge \bf{hey}$


$\huge{ \mathfrak{here \: is \: answer}}$


given

weight of object= 12 newton

gravity of earth= 9.8 m/s^2

gravity of. moon = 1.6432m/s^2

means 1.6m/s^2 (approx)

and

its 1/6th of earth'S gravity

according to question

body on earth= 12N

then body on moon

=
$\frac{1}{6} \times 12$

means

$\bf{2 \: newton}$

$\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \boxed{hope \: it \: helps}}}$

$\huge{ \mathbb{THANKS}}$

Answer 2

hey

here is answer

mass of body on earth. = 12N

gravity of. moon = 1/6 th of earth

hence

weight on moon.

=
$\frac{1}{6} \times 12$

= 2 N

hope it helps

thanks
