60 Kg. Mass doesn't change on the moon, weight does.

Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
If a person's mass is sixty kilograms on the earth what is the mass on the moon?
The person's mass on the moon is still 60 kilograms. Their weight would be about 10 kg.
What is the weight on Earth of a person with a mass of 50 kilograms?
i have no clew
How much does a woman that weighs 60kg weigh in outer space?
If a woman's mass is 60 kg, then she weighs about 588 newtons (132.3 pounds) on the Earth, 97 newtons (21.9 pounds) on the moon, and zero while her ship is coasting or orbiting in space. Her mass of 60 kg never changes, no matter where she is, but that mass has different weights in different places.
How much does the sun weigh?
Weight is a function of gravity and mass. On Earth, the weight of a person is gauged by a scale, of the mass of that person and the amount of gravity pulling that person towards the centre of the Earth. On the Moon, with the same person and scales, that person would weight 1/6th they do on Earth, because the Moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. So the Sun, has nothing pulling on it, so it can be said to weigh nothing. However, it does have mass and that is 1.9891×1030 kg.
What is the mass in kilograms of a 588 in a bulldog?
Since mass = weight/gravity Mass = 588 Gravity = 9.8m/s^2 588/9.8 = 60kg 60kg
You weigh 60kg on earth How much would you weigh in a 2g environment?
your weight would be 120 kg but your mass would be 60 kg
What is the mass in kilograms of a 588 N?
Since mass = weight/gravity Mass = 588 Gravity = 9.8m/s^2 588/9.8 = 60kg 60kg
A man who weighs 12 kg on moon will weigh on earth?
The kilogram is a measure of mass, not a measure of force. His mass will remain the same (i.e. 60kg) regardless of the gravitational field he is in. But as the moon has a weaker gravitational field than the Earth the bathroom scales that stopped at 60 on the Earth will stop at 10 on the Moon.
Mass is 60kg on earth what would mass be on moon?
If a student's mass is 40kg on earth, then his mass is 40kg wherever in the universe he goes. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the gravitational force between each mass and the other masses in the vicinity of the first one. That force is what we call "weight".
Do further away earth objects have no mass?
No, they continue having mass.
If a person has a mass of 71kg on earth what would be their mass on the moon be?
11.83 that is the 1/6 of his mass in earth
How does Earth contain gravity?
By having mass (matter) it will have gravity.
Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
Which is the most likely the mass of a middle school student?
If you are a typical high-school student, step on a bathroom scale and note your weight. Now, divide that number by the acceleration of gravity on the Earth. (On the surface of the Earth, it's 32.2 feet per second squared.) The resultant value will be your mass in slugs.
If a person has a mass of 55 kilograms on earth what would be the mass on the moon?
20 kg
Is matter mass?
Matter is anything that "takes up space" and anything that takes up space has mass, despite how minimal that mass may be. We could make this more difficult by talking about black holes in which mass collapses... (That means it loses its space but still is mass in many ways including its ability to still create a force of gravity) But let's leave that alone. Mass is measured in units of kg, tonnes, grams, etc. It is often confused with weight. Mass is sometimes called a quantity of inertia. Imagine a 60kg bag of sand that you are going to punch. It doesn't matter if you punch it while floating around in deep space or while standing in a gym on Earth where it hangs from a rope attached to the ceiling. What your fist will feel on initial contact with the punching bag will feel exactly the same. It will feel like 60kg. (To me it means it will hurt whether I punch it on Earth or in deep space.) However, the 60kg punching bag of sand will be quite different when we measure its weight. On the rope hanging from the ceiling on Earth, the 60kg will have a force of gravity (weight) acting on it of approximately 590Newtons. Newtons are a unit of force. If you are in deep space far from the close gravity influences of planets and stars, the weight will be nearly zero Newtons. Hope this adds to your understanding.
