Question

George has a mass of 65kg. What would George weigh on the Moon? (The gravitational field strength on the Moon is 1.6N/kg.)

Answer 1

The weight of George on Moon is 104 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is called the action exerted by the force of gravity on the body.

The mass (amount of matter that a body contains) of an object will always be the same, regardless of where it is located. Instead, the weight of the object will vary according to the force of gravity acting on it.

The formula that allows you to calculate the weight of any body is:

P = m * g

where:

P = weight measured in N.

m = mass measured in kg.

g = acceleration of gravity measured in m / s²

But in this case the weight of George on the moon can be calculated as the mass of George multiplied by the intensity of the gravitational field.

weight of George on Moon = George's Mass*Gravitational field strength

`weight of George on Moon=65 kg* 1.6 (N)/(kg)`

weight of George on Moon=104 N

So the weight of George on Moon is 104 N

Answer 2

`\boxed{\large \text{104 N}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\text{Weight} = \text{65 kg} * \frac{\text{1.6 N}}{\text{1 kg}} = \textbf{104 N}\\\\\text{George would weigh $\boxed{\large \textbf{104 N}}$ on the moon}`
