A. The mass of the rocket on the moon can be found using the formula:
mass on moon = mass on earth / 6.02 x 10^24 kg (mass of the moon)
mass on moon = (2.4 x 10^3 kg) / (6.02 x 10^24 kg) = 3.98 x 10^-22 kg
B. The weight of the rocket on the moon can be found using the formula:
weight on moon = mass on moon x acceleration due to gravity on moon
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1.62 m/s^2.
weight on moon = (3.98 x 10^-22 kg) x (1.62 m/s^2) = 6.44 x 10^-22 N
Therefore, the weight of the rocket on the moon is approximately 6.44 x 10^-22 newtons.
