An astrounaut has a mass of 200kg.what is the weight on earth and on the moon?

If you weighed 200kg on Earth you would weigh 33.2kg on the Moon. Your mass would stay the same.
on earth the mass is equal to the weight.
on the moon the weight will be inferior to the mass due to the smaller mass of the moon inducing less gravitational pull

How much does a astronaut weigh on earth?
Astrounaut mass(kilogrammes)*1.62(metre/second^2)
An astrounaut lands on a planet that has the same mass as earth and twice the diameterhow does the astrounaut's weight differ from that on earth?
The force between two objects due to gravity is proportional to the product of the two masses. That part doesn't change compared to his weight on earth.The force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. On the planet with a diameter equal to twice the earth's diameter, the distance is changed by a factor of 2, so the force is changed by a factor of (1/22) = 1/4. His weight on the alien planet is 25% of his weight on earth. Naturally we're assuming that the planet's mass is symmetrically distributed. It doesn't have to be homogeneous with constant density throughout, but it has to be evenly spread around the center. The geometric center of the sphere also has to be its center of mass, with no big off-center lumps.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
If you weight 300 Newtons on earth then what is your mass and weight in mars?
You need to:1) Divide the weight by Earth's gravity, to get the mass. 2) Remember that the mass will be the same on Mars. 3) Multiply the mass by the gravity of Mars, to get the weight on Mars.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
What is different about weight and mass measurement?
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
How much would you weigh on jupiter compared to earth?
weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth
What would be the same on earth as the mooon weight or mass?
Mass
Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?
Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.
