Question

a) What is the mass of a person who weighs 72 Newtons on the Moon, where acceleration due to gravity is 1/6th that on the Earth? Round your answer to the nearest integer, use g = 10 m/s2.

b) What does a person with mass of 75 kilograms weigh on The Moon, where acceleration due to gravity is 1/6th that on the Earth? Round your answer to the nearest integer; use g = 10 m/s2.

c) What does a person who weighs 440 Newtons on the Earth weigh on the Moon, where acceleration due to gravity is 1/6th that on the Earth? Round your answer to the nearest integer; use g = 10 m/s2.

Explanation / Answer

For all parts gmoon=gearth/6=10/6

gmoon=1.667 m/s2

(a) m*gmoon=70

m=42 kg

(b) m*gmoon=75*1.667

Weight in moon= 125 Newton

(c)given, m*gearth=440

m= 44 kg

Weight on moon = m* gmoon=44*1.667

Weight on moon= 73 newton
