Answer:
B. less
Explanation:
acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²
acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²
Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg
Weight of an object is given as, W = mg
Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N
Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N
Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.
The correct option is "B. less"
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the work theorem for which it is defined as the product of Force and distance. In turn, we will use the energy conservation theorem for which the applied work must be equivalent to the total kinetic energy on the body.
The work is defined as

Here,
F = Force
d = Displacement
Replacing with our values we have that


Now by conservation of energy,



Solving for v,


Therefore the correct answer is D.
Answer:
meters per second squared
Explanation:
Because acceleration is equal to velocity over time where velocity is meters per second and time is measured in seconds making acceleration ms-2
