Question

Mass of an object is 10kg. What is it weight on earth and on the moon?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let's say the mass of object On earth .

Mass of object = 10 kg

Weight = 9.8 x 10 = 98 kg

Let's calculate the weight of object On moon .

Mass = 10 kg

Weight = 1/6 x 98

= 16.33 kg

Thus the weight of the object on earth is 98 Kg and on moon it becomes 16.33 kg. Which is very less as compared to the mass on earth.
