A wrench weighs 5.24 N on Earth. When it is taken to the Moon, where g = 1.60 m / s? how much does it weigh? (Hint: Its mass does not change.) (Unit = N)

The weight of the wrench on the Moon is approximately 0.8555 N

Explanation:

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity at sea level is 9.8 m/s^2

then if the wrench weights 5.24 N that means that its mass according to Newton's second law is:

Now we can use the wrench's mass to find its weight on the Moon, knowing that the acceleration due to gravity there is 1.6 m/s^2:

which statement about this sum is true? −245+2.7
