Answer in units of N.
C) What is the mass on the earth?
Answer in units of kg.
D) What is the mass on the moon?
Answer in units of kg.

Answer 1

A) 350 N

B) 58.33 N

C) 35 kg

D) 35 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2

The weight of the object on Earth is given by:

Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N

The weight of the object on the Moon:

Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N

The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg

The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.
