Question

- If an object weighs 40 N on Earth, would it weigh more than 40 N on the Moon? Explain.

Answer 1

no. the moon has less of a gravitational pull. therefore it would weigh less than 40n.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Weight on the surface of moon is smaller than 40 N

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that weight is gravitational attraction force of the planet on the objects near the surface of the planet

So we will say

`W = mg`

here we know that at the surface of earth the weight is given as

`W = 40 N`

so we have

`W = mg_(moon)`

so when same object is taken at the surface of moon then we will have

`g_(moon) = (g)/(6)`

since gravity on the surface of moon is smaller than the gravity at the surface of Earth

so weight will be less than 40 N
