Question

What will be the weight of an object on the moon if its weight on the earth is 48N.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you are a 48 kg person on earth , you will be a 48kg person on the moon . Mass is constant and does not change.

But on earth where acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s² ( an accepted value for working) then your weight on earth will be

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

weight = 48kg * 9.81 m/s² = 471N

And on the moon where acceleration due to gravity = 1.625 m/s²

Weight on moon = 48kg * 1.625m/s² = 78N
