Find the mass of a 60.6kg dog. The dog is taken to the moon (acceleration on moon= 1.6 m/s ?)
a. What is the dog's weight on Earth?
b. What is the dog's weight on the moon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of the dog on the Earth is, W = 593.88 N

The weight of the dog on moon, W = = 96.96 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the dog, m = 60.6 kg

The acceleration on moon, a = 1.6 m/s²

The acceleration on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

The weight of the dog on moon,

                         W = m x a

                         W = 60.6 x 1.6

                              = 96.96 N

Hence, the weight of the dog on moon, W = = 96.96 N

The weight of the dog on Earth,

                         W = m x g

                          W = 60.6 x 9.8

                              = 593.88 N

Hence, the weight of the dog on the Earth is, W = 593.88 N
