Question

the mass of an object on moon is 60 kg how much is his mass on earth?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Mass of an object}$

Mass does not vary by the strength of the gravitational field. What changes is the weight which will only be about one-sixth of what it is on Earth.

So a 60Kg mass on the Moon would weigh approximately the same as a 10Kg mass on the Earth.

Explanation:

The mass of the man would remain the same…

His weight would change. Assuming the man’s weight on earth is 60 N.

Since weight is a force, according to Newton’s second law,

F = ma. ( m = mass,)

( a = acceleration due to gravity)

First lets find the mass of the man,

as it is required to find his weight on the moon.

F = ma [taking a of earth as 10 m/s^2]

60 = m . 10 [divide 10 on both sides]

m = 60/10 = 6 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 83% less than the acceleration due to gravity on earth (1.622 m/s^2).

$F = ma$

F = 6 . 1.622 = 9.732 N

So a person weighting 60 N on earth would approximately weight around 10 N on the moon.
