Question

Big Bubba has a mass of 80 kg. What are his mass and weight on the moon respectively, if the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2?

80 kg, 134 N
120 kg, 134 N
80 kg, 1180 N
120 kg, 704 N

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 80 kg

a = 1.67 m/s^2

The mass is the same anywhere in the universe. So Bubba will be 80 kg anywhere. That makes A and C the only possible answers.

F = Weight = m * a

F = 80 * 1.67

F = 134 N

The answer is A
