Question

The object weight on earth is 500N. Find the mass of object on moon & weight of object on moon??​

Answer 1

Answer:

mass is same but the weight is 1/6 of 500 that is 500/6=83.4 approx

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of object = 500N

Therefore Force (Since weight is the force exerted by the earth on the body)= 500N

F = ma

For simple calculation, We take a = 10m/s²(not 9.8m/s²)

500 = m (10)

m= 50kg

Therefore mass on earth is 50Kg/ton/quintal , hence mass on moon will he 50 itself as mass does not change at any instance

Being that the moon has a gravitational force of 1.622m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quanitity to calculate an object's weight on the moon. So an object or person on the moon would weigh 16.5% its weight on earth.

Therefore 500/1.6 = 312.5 ≈ 312N

The object weighs 312N on moon
