the mass and weight of an object on Earth are 5 kg and 49 N respectively . What will be their values on the moon ? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on the earth |
Answer»
we know that, ✍︎ Weight = mass × ACCELERATIONAs we know that, Acceleration of object is due to GRAVITY So, weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity (G) ➳ 49 = 5 × g ➳ g = 49/5 ➳ g = 9.8m/s² Now, ● Acceleration on moon = 1/6 × 9.8 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀= 1.63m/s² So, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☾⠀weight on moon :- ⪼ weight = mass × acceleration on moon ⪼ weight = 5 × 1.63 ⪼ weight = 8.15N ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ |
