Weight Worksheet

This document provides examples of calculating weight on different celestial bodies using the formula: Weight = Mass × Gravitational Field Strength. It calculates the weights of: a 1,200kg car on Earth, a 210kg lunar rover on the Moon, a 210kg Mars rover on Mars, a 0.8kg rock on Venus, Neil Armstrong's 100kg mass on the Moon, and a 500kg satellite in outer space. The weight of the satellite is calculated to be 0N since the gravitational field strength is 0N/kg in outer space.

Weight = mass × gravitational field strength

1. A car of mass 1,200 kg is on Earth, g = 9.8 N/kg on Earth. Calculate


the weight of the car.
Weight = mass × gravitational field strength
= 1,200 kg × 9.8 N/kg
= ____________ N
2. A lunar rover of mass 210 kg is on the Moon, g = 1.6 N/kg on the
moon. Calculate the weight of the rover.
Weight = mass × gravitational field strength
= _______ kg × _______ N/kg
= ____________ N
3. A mars rover of mass 210 kg is on Mars, g = 3.7 N/kg on Mars.
Calculate the weight of the mars rover.
Weight = m____ × g_____________________
= _______ kg × _______ N/kg
= ____________ N
4. A rock of mass 0.8 kg is on Venus, g = 8.8 N/kg on Venus. Calculate
the weight of the rock.
Weight = _____ × ______________________
= _______ __ × _______ ___
= ____________ N
5. Neil Armstrong had a mass of 100kg with his suit on. On the
moon, g = 1.6 N/kg. Calculate his weight.
Weight = _____ × ______________________
= _______ __ × _______ ___
= ____________ ___
6. A satellite drifts into outer space. The satellite
has a mass of 500kg. In outer space, g = 0 N/kg. Calculate the
satellite’s weight.
Weight = _____ × ______________________
= _______ __ × _______ ___
