The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1.6 m/s. If you weigh 539N on earth, how much would you way on the moon.

Respuesta :

Lanuel

Answer:

Weight = 88N

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6m/s²

Weight on earth = 539N

To find the weight on moon.

First of all, we would calculate the mass;

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity.

We know that acceleration due to gravity on earth is equal to 9.8m/s²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

539 = mass * 9.8

Mass = 539/9.8

Mass = 55 kg.

Now, we solve for the weight on moon.

Weight = 55 * 1.6

Weight = 88N
