Question : 30

Total: 40

\frac{1}{6}

Solution:

Concept:

Weight is the gravitational force on a body, so it changes directly with gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The moon’s gravitational pull is

\frac{1}{6}

that of the Earth.

Therefore, a body weighs

\frac{1}{6}

as much on the moon as it does on Earth.

Let the weight on Earth be

W

On the moon, the weight is

\frac{1}{6}W = 6.0\, \text{N}

Multiply both sides by 6:

W = 6 \times 6.0 = 36.0\, \text{N}

Answer:

D. 36.0 N
