Question

5. A backpack weighs 9.2 newtons and has a mass of 5 kg on the moon. What is the

Answer 1

Answer:

The strength of gravity on the moon is $1.84\ m/s^2$.

Explanation:

We have,

Weight of the backpack, W = 9.2 N

Mass, m = 5 kg

It is required to find the strength of gravity on the moon. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is strength of gravity on the Moon

$g=\dfrac{W}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{9.2\ N}{5\ kg}\\\\g=1.84\ m/s^2$

So, the strength of gravity on the moon is $1.84\ m/s^2$.
