Mass of astronaut m = 83 kg

\

Distance from the center of the Earth\\'s Moon r = 2500 km

\

r = 2500000 m

\

Acceleration a = 2 m/s²

\

Apparent weight Wnet = ?

\

Assuming that the Earth, astronaut, and Moon are momentarily all in perfect alignment.

\

Net force Fg = G[m1m2] / r^2

\

G = gravitational constant (6.673E-11)

\

m1 = mass of object one in kg (the Moon)

\

m2 = mass of object two in kg (the astronaut)

\

r = distance from the center-to-center of the two objects in meters

\

G = 6.67428×10-11 m^3/kg-s^2

\

m1 = 83 kg

\

m2 = 7.3477×1022 kg

\

r = 2500000

\

Fg = (6.67428×10-11)(83)(7.3477×1022) / (2500000)²

\

Fg = 65.126 N

\

Gravitional acceleration due to moon gmoon =  Gm1/r²

\

gmoon =  (6.67428×10-11)(7.3477×1022) / (2500000)²

\

gmoon = 0.784 m/s²

\

The astronaut is accelerating towards moon so net acceleration gr = 2 - 0.784 - 2 = 1.216 m/s²

\

Apparent weight Wnet = Fg + mgr

\

Wnet = 65.126 + 83*1.216

\

Wnet = 65.126 + 100.928

\

Wnet = 166.054 N
