Question

La masa de un objeto en la tierra es de 100 kg.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 980 N

b) 100 kg

c)  163.33 N

Explanation:

a)

The weight of the object on Earth is the product of its mass times the acceleration due to gravity, that is:

$W=m\,g=(100\,\,kg)\,g=(100\,\,kg)\,(9.8\,\,m/s^2)=980\,\,N$

b)

The mass of the object on the moon, is exactly the same (100 kg) since mass is an inherited value of the object.

c)

Considering that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is about 1/6 that we have on earth (g), then the weight of the object on the Moon becomes:

$W=m\,\frac{g}{6} =\frac{980}{6}\,\,N=163.33\,\,N$
