Weight is a measure of force affected by gravity. The Moon’s gravity is less than Earth’s gravity, so objects weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. How much do you think a cat will weigh on the Moon? Explain your reasoning.

9514 1404 393

  about 1.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth, so a 9-lb cat would weigh about 9/6 = 1.5 pounds on the moon.

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm

the 2 figures are congruent bc if you reflect abcd over the y axis then over the d axis the figures overlap
