Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.

What is the mass of a 10 kilogram object on the moon?

10 kilograms, of course. If you take an object to the Moon, its weight will change, but its mass won't.


How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?

The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


Does mass or weight change on moon?

<p> Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object. There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected. Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be: 98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N *The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>


Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?

Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.


Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?

Your mass will not change, but your weight will.


Do the objects mass decrease on the moon?

No, an object's mass does not change when it is on the moon. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not depend on the gravitational field. However, an object's weight will be less on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.


How does the weight of the mass of an object change if it is on the moon?

mass is constant 2kg on earth is 2kg on the moon. Weight depends on gravity. W = mg where g is grav. acceleration. Since gravity is less on the moon, then weight is less on the moon for the same object


Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?

No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.


If an objects mass on earth is 4.2 what is its mass on the moon?

It's 4.2 . An object's mass doesn't change. The thing that does change is the gravitational forcethat attracts the object to another mass. The strength of that force depends on the mass of bothobjects. The force on the first object is what we call the object's "weight".


Is the mass of an object more on the moon?

No, the mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located in the universe. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity, will be less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull.


What are the 3 factors of weight?

The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.


If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?

The mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located, so the object would still have a mass of 120 g on the moon. However, its weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
