Question

The acceleration due to gravity of the earth is 9.81 m/s2 and the acceleration due to gravity of the moon is 1.625 m/s2. If your mass is 70 kilograms, calculate your weight on BOTH the earth and on the moon.

Answer 1

686 N

113.75 N

Step-by-step explanation:

On Earth:

W= mg

= 70 x 9.8

= 686 N

On Moon:

W= mg

= 70 x 1.625

= 113.75 N
