Question

The weight of an object on the moon is
about 0.16 times its weight on Earth. An
astronaut weighs 192 pounds on Earth.
How much does the astronaut weigh on
the moon?​

Answer 1

Answer:

13.9343576064

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pond = 0.45359237

192 ponds = 87.08973504

87.08973504 × 0.16 = 13.9343576064

Answer 2

Concept:

Weight of an object is the amount of force applied by the earth to attract the object towards the center of the earth

Acceleration fue to gravity  can be defined as acceleration acquired by a free falling body when attracted towards another body.

g of earth=9.8m/s²

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center

g of moon =1.6m/s²

Given:

weight at moon =0.16 x weight at earth

Astronaut weight=192 lbs

Find:

Astronaut's weight on moon

Solution:

Astronaut weight=192 lbs

Weight at moon=0.16x 192

                           =30.72

Therefore, weight of astronaut in the moon will be 30.72 lbs
