so you would do the mass of the object ( 3kg, in this exsample) multiplied by the gravity ( which on the earth is 9.8m/s²) so it would be 3x9.8= 29.4 N
The gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s²
and you would do the same to find out the mass on the moon, the mass of the object ( 3kg, in this exsample) multiplied by the gravity ( which on the earth is 1.6m/s²) so it would be 3x1.6= 4.8N
Answers & Comments
Answer:
Weight on Earth= 29.4 N Weight on the Moon= 4.8 N
Explanation:
weight=mass*gravity
The gravity on earth is 9.8m/s²
so you would do the mass of the object ( 3kg, in this exsample) multiplied by the gravity ( which on the earth is 9.8m/s²) so it would be 3x9.8= 29.4 N
The gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s²
and you would do the same to find out the mass on the moon, the mass of the object ( 3kg, in this exsample) multiplied by the gravity ( which on the earth is 1.6m/s²) so it would be 3x1.6= 4.8N
Weight is meaured in newtons (N)
