A 10 pound rock and a 1 pound rock are dropped simultaneously from the moon which would land first and why?

Mass doesn't change. The mass of the object would still be 10KG. The WEIGHT of the object would be about 1/6th as much, because the gravity on the Moon is only about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. But the MASS doesn't change.

but it weighs only 3.6 pounds on the moon.

∙ 14y agoSince there is no air friction on the moon, the rocks would land on the moon's surface exactly at the same time.

and 16 newtons (3.6 pounds) on the moon.

98 newtons (22.05 pounds) that it weighed on earth.

and it weighs 16 newtons (3.6 pounds) on the moon. Its mass remains 10 kg,
no matter where you take it.

1.63N on the surface of the moon. That's less.

They will land at the same time, since the acceleration due to gravity is exactly the same for any object of any mass on Earth, at approximately 9.8 m.s-2
