What is the weight of a 90kg man standing on the moon, where gmoon = 1.64 m/s2?

Question

A.
88.4 N

B.
91.6 N

C.
147.6 N

D.
54.9 N

Answer 1

To find the weight of a person on the Moon, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times g \]

where:

• mass = 90 kg
• \( g_{moon} = 1.64 , \text{m/s}^2 \)

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Weight} = 90 , \text{kg} \times 1.64 , \text{m/s}^2 = 147.6 , \text{N} \]

So the correct answer is:

C. 147.6 N
