Question

Can someone please help me set this up. I didn't quite understand how to do this today.

Before leaving Earth, the mass of an astronaut is measured to be 60kg. The astronaut lands on the Moon and measures the acceleration of gravity to be 1.6 m/s2(squared). What would the astronauts weight be on Earth? What would his weight be on the Moon?

Answer 1

F=ma
So, since a on earth is 9.8,

on earth he weighs 60*9.8 N
on the moon, he weighs 60*1.6 N

Answer 2

Thank
you, Steve!
