On Earth, the mass of one of the lunar landing modules used to explore the moon was measured to be about 4,200 kg. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth.
What is the lunar landing module’s weight on Earth? N
What is the mass of the lunar landing module on the moon? kg
The weight of the lunar landing module on the moon is its weight on Earth.
The calculated weight of the lunar landing module on the moon is N.

Respuesta :

The lunar landing module’s weight on Earth = 41160 N

The mass of the lunar landing module on the moon = 4200 kg  less than

Weight of lunar landing module on Moon = 6858 N

Explanation:

Mass of lunar landing module on earth = 4200 Kg

Weight of lunar landing module on Earth

   = mass × acceleration due to gravity on earth

   = [tex]4200 \times 9.8[/tex]

  = 41160 N

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon

= [tex]\frac {1} {6}[/tex] × acceleration due to gravity on earth

= [tex]\frac {1} {6}[/tex] × 9.8

 = 1.633 m/s²

Mass of the lunar landing module on the moon = Mass of the lunar landing module on the earth = 4,200 kg.

The weight of the lunar landing module on the moon is less than it's weight on Earth.

Weight on moon = Mass × acceleration due to gravity on moon

                             = 4200 × 1.633

Weight on moon = 6858 N
