Question

Type the correct answer in each box.

Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, and gravity on the Moon is 1.6 m/s2.

So, if the mass of an object on Earth is 40 kilograms, its mass on the Moon is____ kilograms and its weight on the Moon is _____newtons.

Answer 1

Mass = 40 kg Weight = 64 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass does not change. 40 kg on Earth = 40 kg on the moon = 40 kg on Saturn, etc.

Weight = Force = Mass*Acceleration

So, Weight = 40 kg * 1.6 M/s^2 = 64 newtons
