Part A
A block is on a frictionless horizontal table, on earth. This block accelerates at 1.9 m/s² when a 90 N horizontal force is applied to it. The block and table are then set up on the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/s². What is the weight of the block on the moon?

Step 1

Given:- 

The block is on the table on the surface of the earth.

The horizontal force on a block is F= 90 N

The acceleration of the block is a=1.9 m/s2

Now We put this system on the moon where the acceleration of gravity is g=1.62 m/s2

Find:- 

What is the weight of the block on a moon?

  1. 39 N
  2. 48 N
  3. 58 N
  4. 67 N
  5. 77 N
