The gravity on the surface of the moon is 0.17 of the surface gravity on Earth. If Jack weighs 156 pounds on Earth, what would be his weight on the moon?

Answer :

If Jack weighs 156 pounds on Earth his weight on the moon will be 26.52 pounds.

What is gravitational force?

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

It is given that,

Gravity on the surface of the moon = 0.17

Weighs of Jack on Earth = 156 pounds

Mass of Jack,

W=mg

156 pounds = m × 9.81 [ g on earth = 9.81 m/s²]

m = 15.902 kg

The weight of Jack on the moon is,

W= 15.902 kg × 0.17

W=2.565 N

Thus, if Jack weighs 156 pounds on Earth his weight on the moon will be 26.52 pounds.

Answer:

Jack will weigh 26.52 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 156 (Your weight on Earth)

y = 0.17 (Surface Gravity)

z = Your weight on the moon

x * y = z

156 * 0.17 = 26.52

Jack will weigh 26.52 pounds.
