Gravity on the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravity on the Earth. What is the weight of a 16 kg object on the moon and on the Earth?

To find the weight of an object, you need to multiply its mass by the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s², while on the moon, it is approximately 1.6 m/s² (1/6 of Earth's).

Weight on Earth = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity on Earth
Weight on Earth = 16 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 156.8 N

Weight on the moon = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity on the moon
Weight on the moon = 16 kg × 1.6 m/s² = 25.6 N

Therefore, the weight of a 16 kg object would be 156.8 N on Earth and 25.6 N on the moon.
