Question

type the correct answer in each box. gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s², and gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s². so, if the mass of an object on earth is 40 kilograms, its mass on the moon is kilograms and its weight on the moon is newtons.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine mass on Moon

Mass is an intrinsic property, so it remains the same on the Moon as on Earth.
Given mass on Earth is 40 kg, so mass on Moon is also 40 kg.

Step2: Calculate weight on Moon

Weight formula: \( W = m \times g \), where \( m = 40 \) kg (mass) and \( g = 1.6 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \) (Moon's gravity).
\( W = 40 \times 1.6 = 64 \) Newtons.

Answer:

First box: 40
Second box: 64
