the weight of a person on earth varies directly as the weight of an object on fhe moon a 150 pound person would weigh approximately 25 pounds on the moon what is the constant of proportionality

Answer:

Being that it takes the weight of an object on earth and converts it to lunar weight, the formula is Weight on the Moon= (Weight on Earth/9.81m/s2) * 1.622m/s2. To find the weight on the moon, we divide the weight on earth by the earth's force of gravity, which is 9.81m/s2. This calculates the mass of the object.

The constant of proportionality is 6

Let the weight of the person = y = 150

Let the weight of the object on the moon = x = 25

The formula to calculate this will be:

y = kx

where, k = constant of proportionality.

Therefore, y = kx

150 = 25k

Divide both side by 25

25k/25 = 150/25

k = 6

The constant of proportionality is 6
