Answer: The weight of the mouse on the Moon is 0.036 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is defined as the force exerted by the body on any surface. It is also defined as the product of mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically,


W=mg

where,

W = weight of the mouse

m = mass of the mouse =
22g=0.022kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on moon =
1.625m/s^2

Putting values in above equation, we get:


W=0.022kg* 1.625 m/s^2=0.036N

Hence, the weight of the mouse on the Moon is 0.036 N
