How much would a 100 pound person weigh on Ceres?

Answer 1

100 pounds The gravity on the moon is approximalty 1/6 that of earth's gravity. *** To be more precise it's 102 pounds. The moon's gravity is about 17 percent that of earth's. Multiply any weight in earth by 0.17 to get its weight in the moon.

Answer 2

The acceleration of gravity, and therefore the force due to gravity, on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6th of what it is at the surface of the earth. So a person who weighs 120 pounds on the earth would weigh about 20 pounds on the moon ... not counting the space suit, air conditioner, batteries, radio, helmet, gloves, boots, and oxygen tank he has to carry in order to survive and communicate on the moon's surface.

Answer 3

If you weighed 100 lb on Earth you would weigh 2702.2 lb on The Sun

• 1lb = 27.022
• 5lb= 135.11
• 10lb = 270.22
• 25lb = 675.55
• 50lb = 1,351.1
• 100lb = 2,702.2
• 150lb = 4,053.3
• 200lb = 5,404.4
• 500lb = 13,511

Or mulitply x 27.022

Answer 4

he would weigh exactly 35 lbs. bc you can just simply divide the weight you are by 6. so that is the answer! if a man weighs 210 on earth than how much does he way on the moon and the answer is so simply 35.

Answer 5

Why do you call him "a 100 lb person", knowing full well that his weight depends on where he is ?

If the person weighs 100 pounds on Earth, then he would weigh 16.2 pounds on the moon,

not counting all the gear and equipment and stuff he would need just to stay alive there.

Answer 6

Very interesting ! I don't know. Let's find out.

My mass is about 84 kilograms. I and the earth are attracted to each other with a mutual force of about 822.4 newtons.

The gravitational force between two objects is [ F = G m1m2/ R2 ].

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.6742 x 10-11
m1 = mass of one object (me) = 84 kilograms
m2 = mass of the other object (the sun) = 1.98 x 1030 kilograms
R = distance between centers of the objects = radius of the sun = 6.95 x 108 meters

F = G m1m2/ R2 = (6.6742 x 10-11) (84) (1.98 x 1030) / (6.95 x 108)2

= [ (6.6742 x 84 x 1.98) / (48.3025) ] x ( 10-11+30-16 )

= 22.98 x 103 = 22,980 Newtons.

In the more familiar English units, that's about 5,170 pounds, or 2.58 tons.

I'm guessing that's not as much weight as we all expected.

It's probably because ... remember ... gravity falls off as the square of the distance between the centers, and even though the sun has this colossal mass, I'm standing 864,000 miles from its center, which is more than 3-1/2 times as far as the moon is from the earth !

Answer 7

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Pluto is estimated at 0.58 m/s2 ,

compared to 9.8 m/s2 on the earth's surface.

This means that for every 100 pounds that you weigh on earth, you would weigh

about 5.9 pounds on Pluto.

Answer 8

Yes Pluto definitely has gravitational pull. Anything with mass exerts gravitational pull. Even you are ever so slightly pulling upward on the Earth. Even subatomic particles have gravitational pull.

Answer 9

If a person's weight depends on where he is, then what exactly is a "90-pound person" ?

A person who weighs 90 pounds on the earth would weigh about 32.3 pounds on Mars.

Also, 14.7 pounds on the moon.

Answer 10

The surface gravity of Titan is approximately 0.14g. Compare this to Earth's surface gravity of just under 1.0g. This means a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh around 14 pounds on Titan.
