The mass of an object Is 45 kilograms. It’s weight on earth is—— newtons, and it’s weight on the moon is ——newtons. Gravitational force is 9.8m/s2 on earth and 1.6m/s2 on the moon

Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of the object on earth =441N

Weight of the object on moon = 72N

Explanation:

Weight of a body is the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration due to gravity varies between planetary bodies. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s² while on moon is 1.6m/s² and it goes different for others too.

Weight = Mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight(e) = weight on earth

Weight (m) = weight on moon

Weight(e) = 45 * 9.8 = 441N

Weight (m) = 45 * 1.6 = 72N

Weight of a body is measured in a unit called Newton(N)
