IE $\bullet$ A $6.0-\mathrm{kg}$ object is brought to the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is only one-sixth of that on the Earth. (a) The mass of the object on the Moon is (1) zero, $(2) 1.0 \mathrm{~kg},(3) 6.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ (4) 36 kg. Why? (b) What is the weight of the obiect on the Moon?
An astronaut weighs 600 $\mathrm{N}$ on Earth. What is the astronaut's mass on the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is $\frac{1}{6}$ that of Earth? (A) 0 $\mathrm{kg}$ (B) 10 $\mathrm{kg}$ (C) 60 $\mathrm{kg}$ (D) 100 $\mathrm{kg}$ (E) 600 $\mathrm{kg}$
An object's weight on the Moon, $M,$ varies directly as its weight on Earth, $E .$ Neil Armstrong, the first person to step on the Moon on July $20,1969$, weighed 360 pounds on Earth (with all of his equipment on) and 60 pounds on the Moon. What is the Moon weight of a person who weighs 186 pounds on Earth?
