Question

The weight of an object on the surface of earth is 200 N. Find its
(i) mass on the earth.
(ii) mass and weight on the moon.

Answer 1

hope it helps!!!!!!!

Answer 2

W = 200 N

a = g = 10m/s^2

m = ?


W = mg

Or m = W/g

Or m = 200/10 = 20 kg.

his mass on earth is 20 kg.


Mass of an object is constant. It will never change wherever you go.

so mass on moon is also 20 kg.


We know that weight on moon is 1/6 of weight on earth

so , weight on moon = 1/6 × 200 = 100/3 = 33.33 N

His weight on moon is 33.33 N.
