Question

what is the force of gravity on a dog dog in a space suit thats running around on the moon? The dogs body has a mass os 20 kilograms. Round to the nearest hundredth place.​

Answer 1

Answer : The force of gravity on a dog in a space suit is, 35.60 N

Explanation :

Force : It is defined as the product of mass of an object and acceleration of an object.

Formula used :

`Force=Mass* Acceleration`

Given:

Mass = 20 kg

Acceleration or Gravity on or near the moon's surface =
`1.63m/s^2`

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

`Force=20kg* 1.63m/s^2`

`Force=35.60N`

Therefore, the force of gravity on a dog in a space suit is, 35.60 N

Answer 2

32.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

What the question is basically is asking is the weight of the dog. According to the law of acceleration, F = ma (where m = mass and a=acceleration). On Earth we are constantly being pulled at an acceleration of 9.8m/s² towards Earth. On the moon it is different.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.625m/s². This means when we're on the moon we gain an acceleration of 1.625m/s².

Using this, we can calculate the force of gravity on a dog on the moon, based on its mass.

F =ma

F = (20 kg)(1.625m/s²)

F = 32.5 kg.m/s² or in SI units 32.5 N.
