An object weighs 30n on earth. the second object weighs 30n on the moon. which object has a greater mass?
Added by Amy O.
Step 1
Given weight on Earth, W = 30 N Gravitational acceleration on Earth, g = 9.81 m/s^2 (approximate value) Using the formula: mass = weight / gravitational acceleration Mass on Earth = 30 N / 9.81 m/s^2 ≈ 3.06 kg Show more…
