Question

Garfield (weighing 24 lbs) took a flight from the earth to the moon (where the gravity is 1/6 the gravity here on earth) on the space shuttle. As usual, he stuffed himself with lasagna during the entire flight and napped when he wasn't eating. Much to his delight when he got to the moon he found he weighed only 6 lbs. He immediately proclaimed a quick weight loss diet.
What is/are the REASONING to support Garfield's claim to a quick weight loss diet?

i need an answer asap please

Answer 1

Answer:

Reason: Gravitational pull of the Moon

Explanation:

Weight of Garfield is 24 lbs on the Earth. He took a flight from the Earth to the Moon where the gravity is 1/6 of the gravity on the Earth.

But when reaches the Moon he found he weighed only 6 lbs. It is due to the gravitational pull of the Moon.

Mass of an object reamins the same at every location while its weight changes due to the change in acceleration due to gravity. It is equal (on Moon) to 1/6 the of acceleration due to gravity on the earth.
