If a person weighs 90 N on the moon, where gravity is approximately 1.6 m/s², what is their mass?
To find the mass of the person based on their weight, you can use the formula:
where:
is the weight (90 N in this case),
is the mass,
is the acceleration due to gravity (1.6 m/s² on the Moon).
Rearranging the formula to solve for mass gives:
