To calculate the gravitational force acting on the astronaut on the Moon, you can use the formula:
\[ F = m \cdot g \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force (in Newtons),
- \( m \) is the mass (in kilograms),
- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (in m/s²).
In this case:
- Mass, \( m = 59 , \text{kg} \)
- Gravity on the Moon, \( g = 1.62 , \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[ F = 59 , \text{kg} \cdot 1.62 , \text{m/s}^2 \] \[ F = 95.58 , \text{N} \]
So, the gravitational force on the astronaut on the Moon is 95.58 N.
The correct response is: 95.58 N.
