a man weighing 490 n on earth weighs only 81.7 n on the moon. His mass on the moon is__kg. (Use g=9.8 m/s2

m = 50 [kg]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must be clear about the difference between weight and mass. Weight is the product of mass by the acceleration of the planet or the star. While the mass is always preserved it never changes regardless of where it is located.

So for the earth we have:

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s^2]

m = mass [kg]

W = weigth = 490 [N]

therefore the mass will be:

m = W/g

m = 490/9.8

m = 50 [kg]

Now it is important to remember that the mass will be the same on the moon or on the earth, but the weight will be different, because the gravity acceleration of the moon is different from the gravity acceleration on earth

So the gravity on the moon is equal to:

81.7 = 50 * gm

gm = 1.634 [m/s^2]

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.
