Question

always use significant figure rules. remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. objects on the moons surface have an acceleration due to gravity one - sixth that on the earths. what would the 50.0 kg boy weigh on the moon? n same as on earth 81.7 80.0 8.0 80 next question

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el peso en la Tierra

El peso \( W \) en la Tierra se calcula con la fórmula \( W = mg \), donde \( m = 50.0\ \text{kg} \) y \( g = 9.8\ \text{m/s}^2 \).
\( W_{Tierra}=50.0\times9.8 = 490\ \text{N} \)

Step2: Calcular el peso en la Luna

Como la aceleración debido a la gravedad en la Luna es \( \frac{1}{6} \) de la de la Tierra, el peso en la Luna \( W_{Luna}=\frac{1}{6}W_{Tierra} \)
\( W_{Luna}=\frac{1}{6}\times490=\frac{490}{6}\approx81.7\ \text{N} \)

Answer:

\( 81.7\ \text{N} \)
