An object weighs 294N on the earth. a) What would be its mass on the moon? b) What is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon?

a=. So when we reverse the formula mass= weight÷ gravity. We can take gravity as g=9.8. So 294÷9.8=30. The mass is 30 kg.

b=. The mass of the object is 294/9.8. The result you get will be multiplied with 1.63, thats the weight in the moon. P. S: Acceleration due to gravity in the moon is one sixth of acceleration due to gravity on eart

Explanation:

Objects weight on earth = 250 N

The objects mass = (250 / 9.81) = 25.49 Kg.

The objects weight on the moon = 25.49 * 1.625 = 41.41 N.

[Note-1: The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1.625 m/s2]

[Note-2: weight = mass x gravity]
