What is the weight of a 225 kg space probe on the moon? The gravitational field on the moon is 1.62 N/kg. Show work. a. 139 N
b. 364 N
c. 1.35 x 10^3 N
d. 2.21 x 10^3 N

The weight is 364 N

The calculation can be done as follows

mass= 225 kg

gravitational field= 1.62 N/Kg

Formula is

F= mg

= 225 ˣ 1.62

= 364

= 364 N

Hence the weight of the probe on the moon is 364N

b. 364 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember that the gravitational force can be calculated by means of the product of mass by acceleration. In this case, the acceleration corresponds to the gravitational acceleration of the moon.

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 225 [kg]

g = moon gravity acceleration = 1.62 [m/s²]

v 154.9= 0.9 length length s little over 154.9cm

i don't understand. explain it clearly
