Question

A block of metal weighs 60 newtons on the earth. You take it to the moon and find it weighs 10 newtons. With what acceleration will it fall on the moon?
1.0 m/s2
1.6 m/s2
9.8 m/s2
6.0 m/s2

Answer 1

Gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of earth. An object falls 9.8 m/s2 on earth multiply that by 1/6 and you get 1.633333333 m/s2. So the answer is B (1.6 m/s2)
