Question

Mass of an object is 10 kg. What is its weight on earth? What would be its weight when measured on the surface of the moon

Answer 1

Answer:

98 N

16.2 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of a body = mass * accelaration due to gravity

Gravity of Earth = 9.8m/s^2

Weight on Earth = 10* 9.8 = 98 Newtons

Gravity of Moon = 1.62 m/s^2

Weight on Earth = 10*16.2 = 16.2 Newtons

Please note that gravity of Earth is approximately 6 times the gravity of moon so you can divide 9.8/6 to get gravity of moon.

Answer 2

Answer:

So the strength of gravity on the earth due to its larger mass is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 / 1.625 m/s^2 or 6 times what it is on the moon. Thus an object weighing 10 kg on the moon would weigh approximately 60 kg on earth
