Weight of an object on the Moon is about _____ of its weight on Earth. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Weight of an object on the Moon is about _____ of its weight on Earth.
A. 1/6
B. 1/2
C. 1/4
D. 1/8
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So weight (mg) is 1/6 of Earth weight. Mass remains same. g_moon ≈ 1.62 m/s², g_earth ≈ 9.8 m/s², ratio ≈ 1/6. Common fact in space science.

Question #3
Which of the following is a derived unit in SI system?
A. Newton
B. Ampere
C. Mole
D. Kelvin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Newton is a derived unit representing force, defined as kg·m/s². Kelvin (temperature), Ampere (current), and Mole (amount of substance) are fundamental SI units. Derived units are combinations of fundamental units through physical relationships. Newton comes from Newton's second law: F = ma. Memory aid: Remember the seven fundamental SI units: meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela. All others like newton, joule, watt are derived. This distinction is essential for unit conversion questions in competitive exams.
