Would the mass of an elephant be less on the moon?
No, the mass of the elephant will never change, but on the moon the elephant would weigh less. Weight is the affect of gravitation wich is the attraction of two bodies that have mass. The mass of the moon is smaller then that of the earth so the gravitational pull would be less.
Is the mass of an elephant the same on the moon as mars?
The mass would be the same. the weight would not.
Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?
Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.
Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
Earth has more gravity. The elephant's mass will hardly change if you take it to the Moon, and:weight = mass x gravity
Would you use kilograms or milligrams for a mass of an elephant?
Kilograms would be used to measure the mass of an elephant.
What mass would be suitable for an elephant?
tons
What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
What is bigger The moon or an elephant?
the moon
What weighs more the moon or all the animals on earth put together?
Not really a scientific question... but here goes: 1 mole is 6.02214179*10^23 Lets assume each elephant weight 5 tons and the moon weighs 7.6*10^22 kilograms. 1 mole of elephants weighs: 5000 kg * 6.02214179*10^23 = 3.011070895*10^27 kilograms. 3.011070895*10^27 kg - 7.6*10^22 kg = 3.010994895*10^27 kg more. To put this number in perspective: 3.011070895*10^27 kg / 7.6*10^22 kg = 39619 So 1 mole of elephants would weigh as much as 39619 moons
What unit of measure would you use to measure the mass of an elephant?
in tons.
What would you use to measure the mass of an elephant?
A very large balance
An astrounaut has a mass of 200kg.what is the weight on earth and on the moon?
If you weighed 200kg on Earth you would weigh 33.2kg on the Moon. Your mass would stay the same.on earth the mass is equal to the weight.on the moon the weight will be inferior to the mass due to the smaller mass of the moon inducing less gravitational pull
