As astronauts travel between the earth and the moon

Reference no: EM13656312

As astronauts travel between the Earth and the moon, their mass remains constant, but their weight diminishes. Assume the Earth and moon are in a fixed position relative to each other and the astronauts travel directly from the Earth to the moon. Determine the minimum weight an astronaut would have. Explain your conclusion.
