If a man has a mass of 83 kilograms on earth, what will the force of gravity on his body be on the moon? a. 135.6 n b. 813.4 n c. 318.5 n d. 4,880.4 n

The answer is (A.) 135.6 N

————

Here is the formula you will need to answer the question.

Formula:
Force(N) = Mass(kg) x Acceleration(m/s²)
or... F(N) = m(kg) x a(m/s²)

————

We need to be certain of the information presented. The problem says the man has a "Mass" of 83 kilograms on Earth. If a man has a Mass of 83 kilograms on Earth, he has a mass of 83 kilograms everywhere. The mass for this problem (even on the moon) is 83.

Mass(kg): 83

To find the acceleration of object on other planets, moons, ect, you'll need to search the internet or ask a teacher. There are ways to calculate this, but the problem didn't supply the necessary information to do so.

Acceleration: 1.625 m/s²

————

Now just plug the information into the formula.

F(N) = m(kg) x a(m/s²)

N = 83 x 1.625
N= 135.875

When considering that there could be a slighty more accurate number for acceleration, it can be concluded that the best answer is (A.)

The answer is true for your question.
