Question

Babatunde has a mass of 78kg. What would Babatunde weigh on the Moon? (The gravitational field strength on the Moon is 1.6N/kg.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Babatunde weigh on the Moon would be 124.8 N

Step-by-step explanation:

* The wight of an object on the earth is mg , where m is the the

  mass of the object in kg and g is the acceleration of gravity which

  is 9.8 m/s²

* The mass of an object on earth is the same as the mass of the

  same object on the moon but the weight of the object on the

  earth is different from the weight of the same object on the

  moon because the gravity on the earth different from on the moon

* The wight on the moon is mg , where m is the the mass of the

  object in kg and g is gravitational field strength on the Moon

  which is 1.6 N/kg

∵ Babatunde has a mass of 78 kg

∵ The mass on the moon = the mass on the earth

∵ On the moon the gravitational field strength is 1.6N/kg

∵ Weight = mg

∴ Babatunde weigh = 78 × 1.6 = 124.8 N

* Babatunde weigh on the Moon would be 124.8 N
