he weight of an astronaut on the moon is 127 N, where the value of 'g' is only 1.7 m/s2. What would the weight of this astronaut be on the Earth (in N)?
I don't know if my attempt is rite?
127n/1.5ms^2
74.70N
Divide 74.70N with earth value of G. What is the earths value of G?
The earth's value of G is 9.8 m/s².
If g on the moon is 1.7 m/s² and he weighed 127 N, he should be much heavier back on earth (because g on earth is 9.8 m/s²).
You can calculate that by ratios between 9.8 and 1.7 m/s²
To calculate the weight of the astronaut on Earth, we can use the formula: Weight = Mass x Gravity
The weight of the astronaut on the Moon is given as 127 N, and the Moon's gravity is 1.7 m/s2.
Step 1: Find the mass of the astronaut.
To find the mass, we can rearrange the formula to Mass = Weight / Gravity:
Mass = 127 N / 1.7 m/s2
Mass = 74.7 kg
Step 2: Calculate the weight on Earth.
The value of Earth's gravitational acceleration (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s2.
Weight = Mass x Gravity
Weight = 74.7 kg x 9.8 m/s2
Thus, the weight of the astronaut on Earth would be approximately 732.06 N.
Please note that when working with unit conversions, it is important to be careful and double-check the units used. Ensure that all values have the correct unit before performing calculations.
