Question
A woman has a mass of $55.0 \mathrm{kg}$.a. What is her weight on earth?b. What are her mass and her weight on the moon, where $g=1.62 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} ?$
Step 1
The weight of an object is given by the formula $W = mg$, where $m$ is the mass of the object and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, $g$ is approximately $9.81 \, \mathrm{m/s^2}$. Show more…
