W = M X a, where W = weight, M = mass, and a = the acceleration due to gravity.
So for your problem, you want the gravitation force as well.
On the Moon, you would weigh about 1/6 of your weight on Earth.

∙ 14y agoThe weight of something can depend on it's mass, state of matter (solid, liquid, gas), gravity, ect. Though make sure you don't get mass and weight mixed up because what effects the mass of an object is not the same as what effects the weight of an object. Some things might be the same, but there are certain things that effect one but don't effect the other.

What is a change that affects the weight of an object?
Gravitygravity
What most directly affects an object's weight?
mass
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
What affects an objects weight?
Weight is the force of gravity on an object. An object's weight/gravity increases with its mass, and decreases with its distance from the gravity producer (for example, planet Earth).
Is it true that weight affects the amount of friction between the object and a surface?
Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.
What is a change that affects the weight of an object?
Gravitygravity
Does friction affects the weight of an object?
no, friction just changes the motion of an object.
What most directly affects an object's weight?
mass
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
Does the weight of and object affects how fast it goes down a plank?
It is possible.
What affects an objects weight?
Weight is the force of gravity on an object. An object's weight/gravity increases with its mass, and decreases with its distance from the gravity producer (for example, planet Earth).
Is it true that weight affects the amount of friction between the object and a surface?
Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.
What are the factors affecting the speed of a moving object?
Factors that affects the speed of a moving object:*Force*Friction*Gravity*Weight
How do weight and mass relate to each other?
Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
What does weigt mean in scientific terms?
How much does the gravity affects an object is called weight. The formula for weight is mg or mass into gravitation.
Does gravity affect your weight and mass?
The force of gravity (or acceleration) affects weight but not mass. An object's mass does not change - it is the physical composition of the object. Weight increases as the force of gravity increases and decreases in the same way.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?
The acceleration affects the weight of the person and object
