Question

The mass of a body is 30 kg on earth What is the weight and mass of the
object on the surface of
moon respectively? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The moon has only 1/6th of the earth's gravity.

So the mass of a body in moon will be 1/6th of 30KG

=1/6*30

=30/6

=5KG

Answer 2

Given - Mass of body on earth - 30 kg

Find - Mass and weight of object on surface of moon.

Solution - Mass refers to amount of matter in the body. The matter remains conserved and hence mass of body will remain same irrespective of the position of body.

Wight of body on moon will vary with respect to earth. Acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1.62 m/s².

Hence, keeping the value in formula of weight, which is equal to, m*g.

Weight of body on moon = 30*1.62

Weight of body on moon = 48.6 kg m/s² or N.

Hence, weight of body on moon will be 48.6 kg m/s² or N.
