Answer:
A. Mass = 61kg, weight on moon = 97.8N
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the weight (force) from Mass of a body, the following formula is used:
W = mg
Where;
W = weight (Newtons)
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s²)
According to this question, a scale shows that I weigh 600N on Earth, the mass on Earth can be calculated thus:
Using W = mg
m = W/g
m = 600/9.8
m = 61.2
m = 61kg
However, this mass on Earth will weigh differently on the Moon because gravity in the moon is 1.6 N/kg. The weight of the 61kg on the Moon is:
W(moon) = mass × gravity
W = 61 × 1.6
W = 97.6 N
Therefore, Mass = 61kg, weight on moon = 97.8N
