117.68 Newtons (26.455 pounds)
(rounded)
Divide by 6. 12kg on Earth equals 2kg on the moon.
The weight of something is its mass (in Kg) times the gravity strength of the body the object is on (9.81 n/s^2 on earth). so a 12Kg object on earth would weigh: (12 Kg ) x ( 9.81 n/s^2 ) = 117.72 Newtons (n)
12kg
Acceleration = F / m: 5N / 12kg = 0.42m/s^2
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
If it's falling near the earth's surface, the weight is 27.56 pounds (rounded), regardless of how long or how far it's been falling.
On earth, 12kg is 117.6N
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.
You need to:1) Divide the weight by Earth's gravity, to get the mass. 2) Remember that the mass will be the same on Mars. 3) Multiply the mass by the gravity of Mars, to get the weight on Mars.
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
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.
