Question

mass of an object is 20 kg .find it's weighg on the earth what will be its weight when measured on the surface of the moon ?​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Given :-

• Mass = 20 kg
• Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

To Find :-

• Weight on earth
• Weight on moon

Solution :-

We know that,

• Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

• Weight on moon = 1/6 weight on earth

Weight on earth = mg

= 20 × 9.8

= 196

Weight on earth = 196 N

Weight on moon = 1/6 weight on earth

= 1/6 × 196

= 32.66

Weight on moon = 32.66 N

Answer 2

Answer:

3.333

Explanation:

Moon has a weaker gravitational pull than Earth. Moon only has 1/6 the gravity that Earth does. So your weight will be six times less than it was on Earth . So the object will weigh about 3.333kg on the moon. (20/6 = 3.333)
