Newton's second law always holds true. Hence, it's a law (newtonian physics do fail when you take extreme cases, such as traveling near the speed of light, but for 90% of cases you can imagine they are always, ALWAYS, true).

What would the weight of an apple be if it has a mass of 1.5 kg?

A mass of 1.5 kg weighs 14.7 newtons (3.31 pounds) on the surface of the earth, and 2.4 newtons (8.6 ounces) on the surface of the moon.


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.


An object has a mass of 180kg on the moon what is the force of gravity acting on the object of the moon?

The weight of a 180-kg mass on the surface of the moon, rounded, is 292.1 newtons (65.67 pounds) .


Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?

Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.

Why there is no atmosphere on the moon?

There is no atmosphere on the Moon because it does not have sufficient gravity to hold an atmosphere to it's surface.


What would an object that is 1 newtons on earth be on the moon?

What will an object weigh on the Moon's surface if it weighs 100Newtons on Earth's surface?

We know that the weight of any object = the mass of the object* g, [where g is the gravitational acceleration]. For any object the mass will be constant in any case. Though Einstein proved that if any object moves with the velocity greater than light it's mass will increase. But in this case the mass will not change. But the gravitational acceleration will change. It is proved that the gravitational acceleration of moon is 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration of the earth. So, the weight of the object on moon will be 100/6 newton=16.666(apporximately) newtons.


What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?

earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
