A person has a mass of 50 kg. a) the acceleration due to gravity at sea level is g=9.81m/s^2. what is the person's weight at sea level? B) the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moonis 1.62 m/s^2. what would the person weight on the moon?

Explanation / Answer
a) F = mg = (50) (9.81) = 490.5 N b) F = mg = (50) (1.62) = 81 N
