On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is approximately one-sixth that on the surface of the earth. A 5-kg mass is "weighed
" with a beam balance on the surface of the moon. a) What is the expected reading?
b) If this mass is weighed with a spring scale that reads correctly for standard gravity on earth, what is the reading?
The answer is: [D]: "force". ________________________________________ Note the formula: " F = ma" ; {"Force = mass * acceleration"}. ______________________________________________________
