the moon's gravity is one-sixth of earth's gravity. if you weigh 100 newtons on earth, how much do you weigh on the moon? a a. 1 newton b b. 6 newtons c c. 16.667 newtons d d. 60 newtons



Answer :

The weight of the body on the moon is 16.66 Newtons.

The weight on the earth means the product of the mass of the body and the gravity of the planet earth,

W = Mg

where,

W is the weight of the body,

M is the mass of the body,

g is acceleration due to gravity.

So, it is given that the weight of the body is 100N on earth.

If the Moon's gravity is one-sixth of the gravity of earth,

the the gravity of moon = g/6

So,

The weight of the body in the moon,

Weight on moon = Mg/6

Putting the value of Mg,

Weight on moon = 100/6

Weight on moon = 16.66 N.

So, the weight of that body on moon is 16.66N.
