    Babatunde weigh on the Moon would be 124.8 N

    Step-by-step explanation:

    * The wight of an object on the earth is mg, where m is the the

    mass of the object in kg and g is the acceleration of gravity which

    is 9.8 m/s²

    * The mass of an object on earth is the same as the mass of the

    same object on the moon but the weight of the object on the

    earth is different from the weight of the same object on the

    moon because the gravity on the earth different from on the moon

    * The wight on the moon is mg, where m is the the mass of the

    object in kg and g is gravitational field strength on the Moon

    which is 1.6 N/kg

    ∵ Babatunde has a mass of 78 kg

    ∵ The mass on the moon = the mass on the earth

    ∵ On the moon the gravitational field strength is 1.6N/kg

    ∵ Weight = mg

    ∴ Babatunde weigh = 78 * 1.6 = 124.8 N

    * Babatunde weigh on the Moon would be 124.8 N
