A 600 N astronaut travels to an asteroid where the gravitational force is one-hundredth that of Earth. What is the astronaut's weight on the asteroid?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is: W = 6 N

Explanation:

Data

W = 600 N

Gravitational force is 1/100 that of earth

Astronaut weight on the asteroid = ?

Process

Know the mass of the astronaut on earth

 

                             W = mg

                             m = W/g

                             m = 600 / 9.81

                             m = 61.2 kg

Gravitational force on the asteroid = 9.81 / 100 = 0.0981 m/s²

New weight

                             W = (61.2)(0.0981)

                             W = 6.0 N
