Question

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s 2 and on earth it is 9.80 m/s 2. If the weight of a person on earth is 400 N, then he/she would weigh on the moon.

Answer 1

i think it might be about 65.31 N on the moon...I've never done this before but what I did was divide 400N by 9.8 to get their mass then multiply the MASS by 1.6 to get the WEIGHT on the moon

Answer 2

He/She would weigh
`65.30 N\\` on the moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight
`= (Mass) * (gravity)\\`

Considering weight on earth, mass of the object will be

`400 = (Mass) x (9.8 (m)/(s^2) )\\Mass =  40.81 N\\`

Weight on earth

`= 40.81 N * 1.6 (m)/(s^2)\\= 65.30 N\\`
