Question

A bowling ball on earth weighs 11 pounds and has a mass of 5 kg the gravitational force on the moon is 1/6 of the gravitational force on earth what would the mass of the bumblebee on the moon 0.83kg 1.8lbs 5kg 11lbs

Answer 1

Given:

Weight (W) of the ball = 11 pounds

Mass (m) of the ball on earth = 5kg

gravitational force on moon = 1/6 of earth

To determine:

The mass of the ball on moon

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of an object is related to its mass as:

W = mg

where g = acceleration due to gravity

Thus if an object moves from earth to the moon, its mass will remain the same. Only, its weight will change based on the value of g

Ans: C) 5 kg
