Question

The acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s^2 .If the acceleration duo to gravity on the surface of moon is 1/6 of the earth ,the weight of 10 kg mass on moon is​

Answer 1

Answer:

16.35 N

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.81 ms⁻²

acceleration due to gravity on moon = $\frac{1}{6}$ x 9.81 ms⁻²

                                                              = 1.635 ms⁻²

There is a formula, F = ma (Newton's second Law)

Force = mass x acceleration

F = ma

F = 10 kg x 1.635 ms⁻²

   = 16.35 N

In this case, weight will become Force as it is the Gravitational Force acted on by the Moon.

So, weight of 10 kg mass on moon is 16.35 N.

Hope this helped.

I'm no math whizzo, so I might have made some careless error along the solution. But you get the idea.
