Is your weight on different planets affected by gravity an object that weighs 150 pounds on Earth weighs only 56.55 pounds on Mars the same object weighs only 24.9 pounds on the moon what percent of an object Earth weight is its weight on Mars and the Moon
To calculate the percentage of an object's Earth weight on Mars and the Moon, you need to use the formula:
Percentage = (Weight on Mars or Moon / Weight on Earth) * 100
First, let's calculate the percentage for Mars:
Weight on Mars = 56.55 pounds (given)
Percentage on Mars = (56.55 pounds / 150 pounds) * 100
Using a calculator, you can divide 56.55 by 150 and multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage. The result is approximately 37.7%.
Next, let's calculate the percentage for the Moon:
Weight on the Moon = 24.9 pounds (given)
Percentage on the Moon = (24.9 pounds / 150 pounds) * 100
Again, using a calculator, divide 24.9 by 150 and multiply the result by 100. The result is approximately 16.6%.
Therefore, an object's weight on Mars is approximately 37.7% of its weight on Earth, and its weight on the Moon is approximately 16.6% of its weight on Earth.
