The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.62m/s^2. The moon's radius is Rm+1738km. A) What is the weight in newtons on the surface of the moon of an object that has a mass of 10kg? B) Determine the force extend on the object by the gravity of the moon if the object is located 1738km above the moon's surface.

    weight is 12.6 N

    force is 4.05 N

    Explanation:

    given data

    acceleration = 1.62 m/s²

    radius = 1738 km

    mass = 10 kg

    distance = 1738 km

    to find out

    weight and force

    solution

    we apply here weight formula that is

    weight = mass * acceleration ... 1

    put here value

    weight = 10 * 1.26

    weight = 12.6 N

    and

    force = mass * An

    force = 10 * 1.62 (1738 / 1738+1738) ² = 4.05 N

    so force is 4.05 N
