Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
Will the mass or weight of a rock change on the moon?
180 grams of mass ... liquid, solid, gas, whatever ... weighs about 6.35 ounces on Earth and about 1.05 ounces on the surface of the moon. Any mass on the moon weighs 16.55% of its Earth weight.
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
If a rock was brought from earth to the moon what statement is true?
The weight of the rock would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity, but the mass of the rock would remain the same.
Is mass of the rock in the moon is the same as on earth?
The mass of a rock remains the same regardless of whether it is on the Moon or Earth; mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However, its weight will differ due to the varying gravitational forces exerted by each celestial body. The Moon's gravitational pull is about one-sixth that of Earth's, so a rock will weigh significantly less on the Moon than it does on Earth.
If a rock has a mass of .15 kg on the moon what will the mass be on earth?
The mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location, whether on the Moon or Earth. Therefore, if a rock has a mass of 0.15 kg on the Moon, it will also have a mass of 0.15 kg on Earth. However, its weight will differ due to the varying gravitational forces on the two celestial bodies.
What happens when you take a rock from earth to the moon?
The earth becomes a litle lighter and the moon becomes a little heavier.
Where would you have less matter earth or the moon?
The Earth has more matter than the moon. The Earth has a much larger mass and volume, containing a diverse range of elements and compounds. In comparison, the moon has a much smaller mass and volume, primarily composed of rock and dust.
How much do a rock weight from the moon?
The overwhelming majority of moon rock is basalt, a very common volcanic rock. Earth has more basalt than it knows what to do with. Two equal volumes of basalt, one from earth and the other from the moon would weigh just about the same (on earth).
If a rock on the moon has a mass of 1.2kg what is its mass on earth?
The mass of the rock stays the same, it's a constant.If you're asking what it's weight is; you just have to multiply it by the Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.81m/s2), which should come out as 11.8kg (correct to 3s.f)
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
A rock would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravity. On the Sun, a rock would weigh significantly more due to the Sun's much stronger gravitational pull compared to Earth.
Why is gravity on earth stronger than gravity on the moon?
Because earth is more massive than the moon. Mass and gravity are positively correlated; the more mass a body has, the stronger its gravity. 1. the earth is larger then the moon and it has electic forces that allow the gravity to be much stronger on the earth then on the moon. 2. the more mass the object has the stronger force of gravity is has 3. if the earth had no gravity there would be no human existence, the moon wouldn't exist and even our plant would exist, the formation of the earth occurred due to the gravitation pull of the magnetic polls on the earth.
