An astronaut has a mass of 59 kilograms. What will her gravitational force be on the Moon? The gravitational attraction on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.(1 point)
Responses
1 95.58 N
2 36.42 N
3 60.62 N
4 578.2 N
To calculate the gravitational force on the astronaut on the Moon, we can use the formula:
Gravitational force = mass * gravitational acceleration
Given:
Mass of the astronaut = 59 kilograms
Gravitational acceleration on the Moon = 1.62 m/s^2
Using the formula, we can calculate the gravitational force:
Gravitational force = 59 kg * 1.62 m/s^2 = 95.58 N
So the correct answer is 1) 95.58 N.
