Question

Q18. Calculate the weight of an astronaut of mass 66 kg on the surface of
the Earth and on the surface of the moon. The acceleration due to gravity
on the surface of the moon is 1/6th times the acceleration due to gravity
at the surface of the Earth.
(in 50-60words)

Please help​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth

Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s2 (1.6% of the acceleration due to gravity). Because weight is directly dependent upon gravitational acceleration, things on the Moon will weigh only 16.6% (≈ 1/6) of what they weigh on the Earth.
