Weight is a measure of force affected by gravity. The Moon’s gravity is less than Earth’s gravity, so objects weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. How much do you think a cat will weigh on the Moon? Explain your reasoning.

9514 1404 393

  about 1.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth, so a 9-lb cat would weigh about 9/6 = 1.5 pounds on the moon.

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
