Question

The value of gravitational pull on the moon is 1.6 m/s2. What is the weight of a 75 kg astronaut on the moon?

Answer 1

Answer:

120N

Explanation:

As we know,

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity(on that planet)

Here,Mass of an astronaut is 75kg and value of acc due to gravity on moon is 1.6m/s2

therefore,

Weight of astronaut on moon=mass of astronaut × value of acc due to gravity on moon

=75×1.6

=120N

Answer 2

Answer: 120 N

Explanation: Since we know that mass x gravity = force,  we multiply 1.6 N/kg( the gravity) by 75 kg( the mass) = 120 N.
