Question on: JAMB Physics - 2024
The moon's acceleration due to gravity is \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the earth's value. The weight of a bowling ball on the moon would be
A
6 times its weight on the earth
B
\(\frac{1}{6}\) of its weight on the earth
C
36 times its weight on the earth
D
equal to its weight on the earth
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
The weight of an object is directly proportional to the acceleration due to gravity. Since the moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's, the weight of the bowling ball on the moon will also be 1/6 of its weight on Earth.
