Answer:
Hence the weight of the person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²
Explanation:
from the question,
W = mg........................ Equation 1
Where W = weight of the man on Earth, m = mass of the man, g = acceleartion due to gravity of the man
make m the subject of the equation
m = W/g.............. Equation 2
Given: W = 1000 N,
Constant: g = 10 m/s²
Therefore,
m = 1000/10
m = 100 kg
Weight on the moon
W' = mg'
W' = 100(1.624)
W' = 162.4 N.
Hence the weight of tthe person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²
