An astronaut weighs 104 N on the moon, where the strength of gravity is 1.6 N per kilogram. what is her mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fg=mg Where Fg is the force of gravity (weight), m is the mass of the atronaut measured in Kg, and g is the acceleration due to gravity measured m/s/s.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You think you can solve it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No not really do you know the answer tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but, what if this question appears on a test, no one will help you so better learn now, that be sorry later.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than be*

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

The answer is on the other side if YOU showing YOUR work. :-) M0j0jo can guide you. Go PPG!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so basically you are trying to solve for m, and you already know fg and g. m=fg/g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically 104/ 1.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that would be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes pretty much, remember to put units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would the unit be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Newtons right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kilograms, its mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh rightt thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass is always measured in kilograms. Force is always measured in Newtons
