Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
What is your weight if you know your mass?
Mas is the amount of matter. Weight though related depends on the gravitation al field you are in. Mass will not change. Weight will. For instance if you travel to the moon you will weigh less but your mass will be the same.
What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
When you travel from the planet Earth to another place, such as the International Space Station or the moon, your mass would remain the same but your weight would change.
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.
Does your mass change as you travel to the moon?
No. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.Your weight however, will change because of the lack of gravity.---The mass won't change as mass is what you are made up of the 'stuff' your are made up of.Only the gravity will change.
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
Would your weight and mass change on the moon?
So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.
Why does your mass change when you travel to the moon?
Actually, your mass doesn't change anywhere in the universe. What does change is your weight. Weight in physics is calculated by multiplying mass time force of gravity, and because gravity is different on the moon, on Earth, on Mars, and any other massive body in space, so is a person's weight.Hope that answered your question adequately :)
Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
Is your mass on the moon the same as your mas son earth?
yes, mass is the amount of space that something takes up, therefore it would not change it you were to travel to the moon. While weight changes due to gravity.
How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
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!
