Answer:

32.4 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on the dog is equal to its weight on the Moon, which is given by

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

where:

m is the mass of the dog

g is the acceleration of gravity on the moon

In this problem, we have:

m = 20 kg

g = 1.62 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity on the moon)

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

[tex]W=(20 kg)(1.62 m/s^2)=32.4 N[/tex]

Further explanation

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

[tex]\boxed {F = ma }[/tex]

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Given:

mass of dog's body = m = 20 kg

gravitational acceleration on the surface of the moon = g = 1.62 m/s²

Asked:

force of gravity on a dog = w = ?

Solution:

[tex]w = m g[/tex]

[tex]w = 20 \times 1.62[/tex]

[tex]w = 32.40 \texttt{ N}[/tex]

Conclusion :

The force of gravity on a dog in a space suit that's running around on the moon is about 32.40 N
