To do this you use Newton's 2nd law which is F=ma or force in newtons (N) = mass in kilograms (kg) * acceleration in m/s2

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 on earth so he has a weight of 980 N.

Does the moon has gravity?

Every mass has gravity. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 16 pounds on the moon.


What happens to the weight of a person on different planets?

Gravity is expressed by the formula g = m/r2, where g is the surface gravity of an object, expressed as a multiple of the Earth's, m is its mass, expressed as a multiple of the Earth's mass (5.976·1024 kg) and r its radius, expressed as a multiple of the Earth's (mean) radius (6371 km). So for an example, Mars has a mass of 6.4185·1023 kg 0.107 Earth masses and a mean radius of 3390 km 0.532 Earth radii. The surface gravity of Mars is therefore approximately 0.107/0.532sq is about 0.38 (0.37805981118209056475775905930239) .378 x 100 lb gives 37.8lb Allow for precision in the values and the answer is anywhere between 37.6 and 37.8lbs.


How much do you weigh on the moom?

About 1/6 of what you weigh on Earth. For example, if you have a mass of 60 kg, on Earth you weight about 600 N, while on the Moon you would weight about 100 N.


What would a 100 lb man weigh if the earths radius were reduced 50 percent?

If the Earth kept the same mass that it has now, but that same mass got packed into a sphere with 1/2 the present radius, then a man who weighs 100 pounds on Earth now would weigh 400 pounds on the half-sized Earth. If the outer shell of the Earth's mass were removed and discarded, leaving only the mass that's presently inside 1/2 of the Earth's radius, then a man who weighs 100 pounds on Earth now would weigh 50 pounds on the half-sized Earth. (Assuming that the Earth's mass/density is homogeneously distributed.) (This is all my opinion & I could be wrong.)


Is the moons gravity one sixth of earth?

As good as. If you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you would weigh 16.54 lbs on the moon. One sixth of 100 equals 16.6666.... Close enough.


Weight and mass on other planets?

If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.


What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?

The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.

If on Earth Sara weighs 100 lbs and she moves to a planet that is 5 times larger in radius but has the same mass as Earth how much would she weigh?

Sara would weigh exactly the same as on Earth. The radius of the planet does not make any difference on ones weight. The mass of the planet is the crucial factor.

How does the force of gravity on pluto compare to the force of earth?

Compared to earth, the force of gravity on pluto is weak, about 1/17 th that of earth, so 100 kg mass on pluto would "weigh" 100/17 = 5.9 kg


If a man has a mass of 100kg on earth what will his mass on the moon be?

The question is ill-posed. Weight is mesured in Newtons (N) as it's a force, it's mass is measured in kg. There are ctually two questions mixed together here. Let's answer both: 1) If an astronaut has a mass of 100kg on earth what is his mass on the moon? 100kg - put him on a frictionless surface and try and accelerate him, it's just has hard on the moon as on earth (or anywhere else for that matter). 2) If an astronaut weighs 981N on the surface of the earth (as an astronaut of mass 100kg would) how much does he weigh on the moon? Surface gravity on the earth is 9.81m/s/s which is how we end up with the 100kg astronaut weighing 981N. On the moon surface gravity is only 1.62m/s/s so the same astronaut would weigh 162N - about 1 sixth that on earth.
