No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
The object's mass is the same wherever it is. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the object's weight.The weight depends on what other mass happens to be nearby.When you know the object's weight on earth, multiply that by 0.1633 to find its weight on the moon.If you don't need it that close, it might be easier to just divide the earth weight by 6.
The mass on the moon will remain the same, 20 kg If the object's mass is 20 kg, then it's 20 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars, or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another. Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
The equation to determine the weight of a body on the earth or moon is a modification of Newton's second law, W = mg, where W is weight in Newtons, m is mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s2.Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 9.8m/s2. A 20kg mass on the earth would weigh W = 20kg x 9.8m/s2 = 196N.Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 1.63m/s2. A 20kg mass on the moon would weigh W = 20kg x 1.63m/s2 = 32.6N.
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.
it is your weight on earth divided by 10
An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because there is less gravity on the moon
