Variable Force (F) Units: Acceleration On Earth (G)
Variable Force (F) Units: Acceleration On Earth (G)
As per the problem statement, correlation of variables between earth & moon are;
Earth Moon
Force doozy
Mass cuz
Acceleration Acceleration on moon (gm)
a.
We also know that, gravitational acceleration on moon is 1/6th of the earth’s gravitational
acceleration.
From eq.1, force on moon surface is;
1 doozy = 1cuz * Acceleration on moon (gm) …………….. 2
Acceleration on earth(g)
1 doozy = 1cuz * m/s2 (gm = g/6)
6
9.8
1 doozy = 1cuz * m/s2 (g = 9.8 m/s2)
6
doozy = cuz * 1.633 m/s2
Doozy = cuz * 1.633 N/kg ….. 3 (Newton = kg * m/s2. So, m/s2 =
newton/kg)
cuz∗1.633 N
doozy =
kg
We know that, mass of material same on both earth and moon.
So, cuz = kg
Substituting in eq 3,
cuz∗1.633 N
doozy =
cuz
cuz∗1.633 N
doozy =
cuz
doozy = 1.633 Newton
b.
Weight is the product of mass and acceleration.
Weight on moon:
Wm(doozy) = Mass (cuz) * acceleration of moon (gm)
As per problem statement, mass = 3cuz
So,
Weight (Wm) = 3 cuz * gm
Weight (Wm) = 3 * cuz * gm
Weight (Wm) = 3 doozy (from eq.2, doozy = cuz*gm)
Weight at Lizard Lick, North Carolina (Earth):
Earth gravitational acceleration is 6 times the moon’s gravitational acceleration.
g = 6*gm
Weight (We) = mass * earth’s gravitational acceleration (g)
Weight (We) = 3 cuz * 6 * moon’s gravitational acceleration (gm)
Weight (We) = 3 cuz * 6 * gm
Weight (We) = 18 * cuz * gm
Weight (We) = 18 doozy (from eq.2, doozy = cuz*gm)
