Answer :

Final answer:

An astronaut weighing 55 kg would weigh 539 N on Earth and 88 N on the Moon.


Explanation:

Weight on Earth: The weight can be calculated as mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (55 kg x 9.8 m/s² = 539 N).

Weight on the Moon: On the Moon, where gravity is weaker (1.6 m/s²), the weight would be 55 kg x 1.6 m/s² = 88 N.
