Question

The moon's gravitational field strength is one-sixth that of the Earth. A sample of Moon rock weighed 15 N on the Moon. a) What would be its weight when it was brought to the Earth? b) What is the mass of the sample?

Answer 1

hlo mate here is ur ans..........

A) Gravity on the Moon compared to Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ. Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s2 (1.6% of the acceleration due to gravity).

B) For example if there is 100 grams of Copper (II) Sulfate, its sample mass is 100g. "Sample-mass.".

hope this helps uh dear :)

pls mark as brainliest....

Answer 2

Answer: Value of 'g' on moon = 9.8/6 = 1.63 m/s²

Weight = mg

15 = m × 1.63

m = 15/1.63

m = 9.2 kg

Mass of body = 9.2 kg

(a) Weight of body on earth

= mass of body × acceleration due to gravity on earth

= 9.2 × 9.8

= 90.16 N

Weight of the body on earth is 90.16 N.

(b) Mass of the sample/body is 9.2 kg. (Already solved above)
