Question

PLS HELP! If a person has a weight of 600 N, how much will they weigh on the Moon?

A. 96 N
B. 69 N
c. 600 N

Answer 1

They would weight 69N on the moon's surface.

Answer 2

Explanation :

It is given that, the weight of the person on the earth is 600 N. The weight is equal to :

W = m g

where

g is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth, g = 10 m/s²

`600\ N=m* 10\ m/s^2`

m = 60 kg

We know that the mass of an object remains constant everywhere.

The value of g on moon is, g' = 1.63 m/s²

So, W' = m g'

`W'= 60\ kg* 1.63 m/s^2`

W' = 97.8 N

Hence, the weigh on the moon is 97.8 N.
