Question

The mass of a rock on earth is 2.0kg what is the weight of the rock on the moon.

Answer 1

3.25 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1.625 m/s^2, but on Earth it is around 9.81 m/s^2. The weight of an object, in newtons, is equal to its mass times the gravity.

Therefore, on Earth, the rock would weight 2.0 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 19.62 N

On the moon, the rock would weigh 2.0 kg * 1.625 m/s^2 = 3.25 N

Answer 2

1/3 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight on the Moon is 1/6 of the weight on Earth.

So, the weight of the rock on the Moon will be 2 *1/6=1/3
