Question

If you weigh 48kg on earth.What would be the weight on the moon?​

Answer 1

8 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the lack of mass of the moon, the gravitational attraction is much less compared to that on the earth. And Weight is defined as the amount in which the earth pulls on you.

It is a known fact that the gravitational force is 1/6 of that of Earth. This means that you are going to weigh 1/6 of your weight on the moon.

So, to find your weight on the moon, you have to take your weight on earth and divide it by 6. So in this case, you have to do 48/6 which gives you 8 Kg

Answer 2

You would weigh 8kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the moon only has 1/6 of the gravity than Earth does, It means you would weigh 6 times less than your original weight on Earth.
