How much would 1kg weigh on the moon if the pull of gravity there is about 1/6 of the pull of gravity on Earth

Question

Can you please show me how to solve this question?

Please give the answers Newton

Answer 1

Here on earth, the weight of an object is derived by multpiplying the mass of the object with the force gravity applies to it or the acceleration of the object due to gravity.

here on earth the acceleration of mass due to gravity(g) is 9.8 m/s^2.

so technically the weight of 1 kg object here on earth is equal to 9.8 newtons (N).

the moon has 1/6th the pull of earth gravity so you simply multiply the weight of the object here on earth with 1/6

that is 9.8 N * 1/6
= 1.63 N

the object would still be 1 kg in mass but differs in weight having 1.63 N

Answer 2

Weight On The Moon

Answer 3

A mass of 1 kg would still be a mass of 1 kg on moon bit its weight would be 1/6th of that on earth. Thus if it weighs 9.8 Newtons on earth, it would weigh about 1.63 N on moon.

Answer 4

1/6 kg weight... but still 1 kg mass.

Weight = mass times gravity. (essentially the force applied to whatever the object is resting on.)

Same mass... 1/6 the gravity... 1/6 the weight.

Answer 5

166 2/3 newtons

Answer 6

1 kg will weigh 1 kg anywhere like what weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?

if you took a 1 kg object from earth to the moon it would require 5/6 less energy to lift the object but it would still wiegh 1 kg

Answer 7

1000 divided by 6 =166gms use the calculator

Answer 8

here it is in very simple terms.............weight is force......force is MASS multiplied by GRAVITY..............weight = mass x gravity.............. Okay? the gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s^2........9.8.........take 1/6th of that and multiply it by 1 kg and that is the weight.
