Recall that weight is a force and is equal to m*g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the Earth near the Eart

h's surface. The acceleration due to gravity exerted by the moon near the moon's surface is 16.6% that of Earth. What is the weight (in N) of a person with a mass of 76.5 kg on the moon

Answer:

W of the person in moon  ≈ 124.70 N

Explanation:

Weight: Weight of a body can be defined as the product of mass and the gravitational acceleration of the body. The S.I unit of weight is  Newton (N). It can be expressed mathematically as

W = mg

Where W = weight of the body, m = mass of the body (kg) and a = acceleration of the body (m/s²)

Weight(W) = Mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

∴ W = m × g.

If the person is on the moon,

Mass = 76.5 kg.

g (moon) = 16.6% of g ( earth)

But g(earth) = 9.80 m/s².

∴ g (moon) = 9.80 × (16.6/100)

 g (moon) = 1.63 m/s², m = 76.5 Kg

∴ Weight of the person in moon = 76.5 × 1.63 =124.695 N

   W of the person in moon  ≈ 124.70 N

vladimir1956 [14]
U=450ms-¹
g=-10ms-²
H= 10000m
V= ?
using V² = u² -2gH
v² = 450² - 2×10×10000
v² = 202500 - 200000
v² =2500
v = 50ms-¹

The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5. The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 and the mass of Object
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.

I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.

Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .

Then . . .

-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.

-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.

So now, here are the masses:

Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .

Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:

Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.
