Acceleration and weight question

[NoPoke]

and since the question is unclear how about the 180lb astronaut in the rocket?

 

[alexcc17]

Find the gravities on the moon instead of the Earth and add the acceleration?

 

[NoPoke]

try it and see, tell us the answer you get.

 

[alexcc17]

1.635/.9=1/x... x=.55 gravities...
180*(1+.55)=279 moon pounds?

 

[NoPoke]

astronauts weigh less on the surface of the moon than on the earth.

 

[alexcc17]

How would I solve it?

 

[NoPoke]

If I have a mass of 180lbs then on the surface of the Earth my weight will be 180lbs (mass) x 1 gravity (acceleration) to give 180lbs (force) weight.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is 1/6th that on Earth so now my 180lbs mass feels like a _____ lb weight.
