Question

- If an object weighs 40 N on Earth, would it weigh more than 40 N on the Moon? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

no. the moon has less of a gravitational pull. therefore it would weigh less than 40n.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight on the surface of moon is smaller than 40 N

Explanation:

As we know that weight is gravitational attraction force of the planet on the objects near the surface of the planet

So we will say

$W = mg$

here we know that at the surface of earth the weight is given as

$W = 40 N$

so we have

$W = mg_{moon}$

so when same object is taken at the surface of moon then we will have

$g_{moon} = \frac{g}{6}$

since gravity on the surface of moon is smaller than the gravity at the surface of Earth

so weight will be less than 40 N
