What is his weight measured on the moon?
=> __________N
What is his mass on the moon?
=> __________kg

if weight on earth is 1 N  that means that weight on moon is 1/6 N, and weight is mass*gravity so what is his mass?

@dss08a Can you not say mass*"GRAVITY" say "acceleration due to gravity"

wolf1728 · Answer

The weight should be 1/6 the weight on Earth (or about 100.8333333333 Newtons)

Mass is not dependent on weight.
Weight of 605 Newtons on Earth means the mass is (605/9.81) = 61.67 kilograms.
The mass of 61.67 kg would be the same everywhere no matter what the gravity is.

sp yeah weight is just mass*gravity

how do i find his weight measured on the moon in N? @wolf1728

wolf1728 · Answer

Just mutiply his Earth weight by 1/6.

I thought I already answered that
100.8333333333 Newtons
