The mass of the astronaut on the moon will be equal to 60 kg whereas the gravitational acceleration on the moon is 1.63 [tex]\rm m/s^2[/tex].
Given information:
An astronaut weighing 588 N on the earth notices that he weighs only 98 N on the moon.
The mass of any object in the whole universe doesn't change but the gravitational force or weight can change. This is because the gravitational acceleration can change.
The mass of the object in the earth or anywhere will be,
[tex]w=mg\\588=m\times 9.8\\m=60\rm \; kg[/tex]
So, the astronaut has 60 kg mass which is constant.
The gravitational acceleration on the moon will be,
[tex]98=60a\\a=1.63\rm\; m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the mass of the astronaut on the moon will be equal to 60 kg whereas the gravitational acceleration on the moon is 1.63 [tex]\rm m/s^2[/tex].
