Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newton’s of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth?
value of gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s2 value of gravity on moon = 1/6th of earth = 9.8/6 = 1.63 m/s2 weight of object on moon = m×1.63 = 10×1.63 = 16.3 N weight of object on earth = m×9.8 = 10×9.8 = 98 N
