The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is one-sixth that on Earth.What net force would be required to accelerate a 25.0-kg object at 5.80 m/s² on the Moon? A)4.31 N B)24.2 N C)8.7 N D)145 N E)25.9 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net force required can be calculated using Newton's second law, F = ma. On the Moon, the acceleration due to gravity does not affect the calculation of the net force needed to achieve a specific acceleration. Therefore, F = 25.0 kg * 5.80 m/s² = 145 N.
