Gravitation force on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in Newtons of 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth? |
|
Answer» Mass of the object (m) = 10 kg Acceleration due to gravity on earth = g acceleration due to gravity on moon = g Now, \(g_m=\frac{g_e}{6}=\frac{9.8}{6}=1.635m/sec^2\) Weight of an object on earth We = mge = 10 × 9.8 = 98 Newton Weight of an object on the moon Wm = mgm = 10 × 1.635 = 16.35 Newton |
