What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.
What is less on the moon than it is on earth?
Gravitational acceleration. On Earth ; Gravitational acceleration is ~ 9.8 m/s^(2) On the Moon; Gravitational acceleration is ~ 1.625 m/s^(2)
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
If something on earth weighs 100 newtons what is that on the moon?
Since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of the gravity on earth, a body that exerts the force of 100 newtons on the earth surface would exert 1/6 of that force when on the surface of the moon, or approximately 16.7 Newtons. You may ask "Why?". Look at the equation of Force: Force = mass x acceleration F=m.a The mass remains the same in both cases (moon surface or earth surface). The acceleration is the only parameter that changes. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 6 times the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon. Hope that helps.
By exerting the same force Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth Why?
Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity. This means that Steve feels less gravitational pull on the Moon, allowing him to exert the same force and achieve a greater acceleration and thus jump higher.
On the moon, which objects would fall with the same acceleration?
on the moon, which object would fall with the same acceleration
What is the acceleration of the moon towards the earth?
The acceleration of the moon towards the earth is approximately 0.0027 m/s2.
Why an apple and the moon has the same gravitational acceleration?
An apple and the Moon experience the same gravitational acceleration, approximately 9.81 m/s² near the Earth's surface, because they are both subjected to the same gravitational force exerted by the Earth. While the Moon is much more massive than an apple, it is also much farther from the Earth, resulting in a gravitational force that balances out when considering both mass and distance. According to Einstein's equivalence principle, gravitational acceleration is independent of the mass of the objects involved, leading to this similarity in acceleration.
Why is the mass of an object same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.
What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.
How do you get he answer what fraction of the gravity is the Moon's?
-- On line or in a book, look up the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth. -- On line or in a book, look up the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. -- Divide the Moon's number by the Earth's number. The answer is the fraction of Earth's gravity that you'll encounter on the moon. -- You can do the same for every planet in the solar system, plus several moons and asteroids.
What causes an object to weigh more on earth than the moon?
The acceleration due to gravity. Gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s^(2) Gravitational acceleration on Moon is1.625 m/s^(2) So an object of 2 kg on Earth will weight(Force) of 2 x 9.8 = 19.6 N However, on the Moon it will weigh (Force) 2 x 1.625 = 3.250 N It contains the same amount of matter/mass , but will weigh less, because gravitational acceleration on the Moon is less.

Can the revolving of the moon around the earth be an example of acceleration?
Yes. The moon is continuously 'falling' around the Earth, and the acceleration is due to the gravitic attraction between them. This is a different acceleration than the "go faster and faster" kind.
If something on earth weighs 100 newtons what is that on the moon?
Since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of the gravity on earth, a body that exerts the force of 100 newtons on the earth surface would exert 1/6 of that force when on the surface of the moon, or approximately 16.7 Newtons.

Why does an object have different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
Why does object have a different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
