Compare the weight of a 60 kg person on the earth with the weight of the same person on

the moon. Then, describe a quick (but very costly) way for dieters
at NASA to lose weight.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for weight is

W = mg, where

W = the weight of the object or person

m = mass of the object or person

g = acceleration due to gravity

Now, we're given the mass of the person to be 60 kd, and thus, the weight of that person would be

W = 60 * 9.81

W = 588.6 N

On the surface of the moon, the weight of the person would be

W = 60 * 1.625

W = 97.5 N

Therefore, the weight of the person on both surfaces are 588.6 and 97.5 respectively
