Given:
Weight (W) of the ball = 11 pounds
Mass (m) of the ball on earth = 5kg
gravitational force on moon = 1/6 of earth
To determine:
The mass of the ball on moon
Explanation:
Weight of an object is related to its mass as:
W = mg
where g = acceleration due to gravity
Thus if an object moves from earth to the moon, its mass will remain the same. Only, its weight will change based on the value of g
Ans: C) 5 kg
