Mass of man-earth vs moon
[b]1. If a man weighs 900 N on Earth what would his mass on the moon be? Gravity on the moon is 1/6 the gravity on the Earth. (use 9.8 m/s^2)
[b]2. F=ma [b]3. 900=m(9.8) m=91.83 ans=91.83 I'm fairly certain that this is correct, i just want a little confirmation because the moon thing throws me off |
