The acceleration of the gravity Moon is equal to one-sixth of Earth's gravitational acceleration times. if an astronaut has a mass of 60 kg, what is the mass ande weight of the astronauts on the moon?

Sagot :

In your question, when you said "... an astronaut has a mass of 60 kg ...",
you didn't mention where he has that mass ... you only said that he has it.
Clearly, then, his mass doesn't depend on where he is. It's the same mass
everywhere.

His weight, however, does depend on where he is, because the weight of
any object is the gravitational force between the object and something else.

When the 60-kg astronaut is on Earth his weight is 588.4 newtons (132.3 pounds).

When he is on the moon, his weight is 97.4 newtons (21.9 pounds).

'mass' will be same every where ....weight differs and it depends upon gravity .....u said mass of astrounaut is 60 .....so on moon also mass will be 60 kgs ...but weight differs ....and on moon he "weighs" 97.4 newtons
