Question

9.) This 200 kg

stag that weighs
1,960 N on earth
would only weigh
324 N on the
moon. Calculate the moon's
acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 1

Mass on moon = 33.06 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass on earth = 200 kg

Weight on earth = 1960 N

Weight on moon = 324 N

To find the mass on moon;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

1960 = 200 * g

g = 1960/200

g = 9.8 m/s²

Next, we find the mass on moon;

Mass on moon = weight on moon/acceleration due to gravity

Mass on moon = 324/9.8

Mass on moon = 33.06 kg
