Question

Acceleration on moon is approximately 1/6th of the Earth's; what would be the force of your egg drop package if dropped on the moon if the mass was 0.56 kg? (Hint: you'll need to calculate the moon's acceleration first!)​

Answer 1

• Acceleration on earth=10m/s^2

Acceleration on moon:-

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 10\dfrac{1}{6}=1.6m/s^2$

Now

• Mass=0.56kg

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow F=ma$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow F=0.56(1.6)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow F=0.896N$
