Question

Gravitational on moon of that on earth

Answer 1

We know weight of an object on moon $=\frac{1}{6}$ weight of object on earth.-----------(A)

Also we know weight of an object $W=mg$ where m=mass of the object and g = acceleration due to gravity.

So equation A can be written as

$m{g}_{moon}=\frac{1}{6}m{g}_{earth}$

As mass of the object remains constant despite its location, and $g_{earth}=9.8m/s^2$the above equation reduces to

$g_{moon}=\frac{9.8}{6}=1.63m/s^2$
