Answer: 88.2 J
Explanation: PE, OR Potential Energy, equals to mass gravity and height.
mass - 3kg
height - 3 because (8-5)
gravity is 9.8kg
so 3 times 3 times 9.8 = 88.2J
Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.
Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.
The solution is C. 12.7 N.
