If an astronaut has a mass of 80 kilograms on earth, the force of gravity on their body on the moon is 128 N.

Solution:
Force of gravity = mass x gravitational field strength
Moon's gravitational field strength = 1.6 m/s^2
Force of gravity = 80 kg x 1.6 m/s^2
Force of gravity = 128 N

Force of gravity = mass x gravitational field strength

Moon's gravitational field strength = 1.6 m/s^2

Force of gravity = 80 kg x 1.6 m/s^2
Force of gravity = 128 N

@mojojo

Your answer is a copied explanation from here ( and it's a different question.

784N is incorrect.
The correct answer should be 128N, we should use the moon's gravitational field strength = 1.6 m/s^2.

@denyang, thank you for clarifying. I actually just add it, to also make clarification to the previous answers, that thier answer was from that problem.

This link also contains similar problem.
Which 1.6 was used as moon's gravity.
