what is the weight of a 100kg man on the moon with a gravitaional acceleration of 1.6m/s(squared)?
is it 225lbs?
it is m gmoon = 100 * 1.6
which is 160 N
It does not have anything to do with units conversion, although yes, 100 kg roughly equals 225 lb.
As in the previous question,
Weight = mg
g on the moon is 1.6 m/s²
so the weight is 100 kg*1.6 m/s²=160 N.
Note: N stands for newton and is a unit of force required to cause an acceleration of 1 m/s² on a mass of 1 kg.
Boi where?
To find the weight of a 100kg man on the moon, we can use the formula: weight = mass × gravitational acceleration.
Given:
Mass (m) = 100kg
Gravitational acceleration (g) on the moon = 1.6m/s²
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Weight = 100kg × 1.6m/s²
Now, let's calculate the weight:
Weight = 160kgm/s² = 160N
Therefore, the weight of a 100kg man on the moon, with a gravitational acceleration of 1.6m/s², is 160 Newtons.
