American astronauts brought a trunk of instruments on their trip to the Moon. The
mass of the trunk at Cape Canaveral, FL, the launch site, was 125.0 kilograms (kg).
They wondered what the mass of the trunk would be on the surface of the Moon.
They knew that the gravity on the Moon is one-sixth of the gravity on Earth. What
was the mass of the trunk on the Moon, to the nearest tenth of a kilogram?
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average mass of an adult American male is 86 kg. Determine the mass and the weight of an 86-kg man on the moon where the gravitational field is one-sixth that of the Earth.
An astronaut weighs 140N on the moon's
surface. When she is in a circular orbit about
the moon at an altitude above the moon's
surface equal to 0.99 x Rmoon (times the
moon's radius), what gravitational force does
the moon exert on her?
Answer in units of N.
