The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is one-sixth that on Earth.What total force would be required to accelerate a 30-kg object at 6.0 m/s² on the Moon? A) 30 N B) 10 N C) 180 N D) 49 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force required to accelerate an object is given by F = ma. Here, m = 30 kg and a = 6.0 m/s². Thus, F = 30 kg * 6.0 m/s² = 180 N. The Moon's gravity is irrelevant to this calculation.
