It's mass would be one kilogram on the moon, but It would weight about 1/6 of one kilogram.

Answer:

Mass and weight are not interchangeable - mass is always constant but weight varies as the local gravitational force. As a result on a equal arm balance the "weight"

of a a one kilogram object would be the same as the total weight put on the other arm (which total one kilogram). On a spring balance however, where the spring is compressed or stretched by the action of gravity on the one kilogram mass to indicate "weight", the "weight" on the moon would be about 1/6 of the weight on Earth.

What is the weight of 1 kilogram of iron on earth compared to 1 kilogram of iron on the moon?

The weight of 1 kilogram of iron on Earth is greater than the weight of 1 kilogram of iron on the Moon. This is because weight depends on the gravitational pull of the celestial body, and Earth has a stronger gravitational force than the Moon.


What would a kilogram weigh on the moon?

A kilogram weight would "weigh" about 170 grams on the Moon.1 kg on the Moon = acceleration 1.67 m/sec2 x 1 kg = 1.67 NewtonCompared to Earth: acceleration 9.81 m/sec2 x 1 kg = 9.81 Newton1.67 / 9.81 = 0.170 (about 1/6 its weight on the Earth)

What would weigh more 1 kilogram of apples on earth or 1 kilogram bag of apples on the moon?

A 1 pound bag on the moon contains more apples. weight equals mass× gravitational aceleration. since the acceleration on earth is nearly 6 time the acceleration of the moon, thus if both bags have the same weight and the apples' mass on earth is x then there mass on moon is 6x

How would you check that a pencil would have a mass of less than 1 kilogram?

To check if a pencil has a mass of less than 1 kilogram, you would weigh the pencil using a scale that measures in kilograms. If the scale reads less than 1 kilogram, then the pencil's mass is less than 1 kilogram.


How much would 10 apples weigh on the moon?

The weight of an object on the moon is about one-sixth of its weight on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. If an average apple weighs around 100 grams, 10 apples would weigh approximately 1,000 grams or 1 kilogram on Earth. On the moon, this would equate to around 167 grams due to the reduced gravitational pull. Thus, 10 apples would weigh about 167 grams on the moon.
