Question

5. A backpack weighs 9.2 newtons and has a mass of 5 kg on the moon. What is the

strength of gravity on the moon? (Be careful with units, remember IN= 1 ke. m/s2

Answer 1

The strength of gravity on the moon is
`1.84\ m/s^2`.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Weight of the backpack, W = 9.2 N

Mass, m = 5 kg

It is required to find the strength of gravity on the moon. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is strength of gravity on the Moon

`g=(W)/(m)\\\\g=(9.2\ N)/(5\ kg)\\\\g=1.84\ m/s^2`

So, the strength of gravity on the moon is
`1.84\ m/s^2`.
