Gravity on the surface of the moon is only

as strong as gravity on the Earth.
What is the weight of a 33 kg object on the
Earth? The acceleration of gravity is 10m/s2 .
Answer in units of N.
WRONG
weight on Earth= 33g
weight on moon= 33/6 * g
It bothers me to use 10m/s^2, and it bothers me that a teacher would do that. Nowhere on Earth is it that value, never has been, and never will be.
To find the weight of a 33 kg object on Earth, we can use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity
Given that the mass of the object is 33 kg and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 10 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Weight = 33 kg x 10 m/s^2
Weight = 330 N
Therefore, the weight of a 33 kg object on Earth is 330 Newtons.
To find the weight of an object on Earth, we can use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity
Given:
Mass of the object on Earth (m) = 33 kg
Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 10 m/s^2
Using the formula, we can calculate the weight:
Weight = 33 kg x 10 m/s^2
Weight = 330 N (Newtons)
Therefore, the weight of a 33 kg object on Earth is 330 N.
