What ) An astronaut brings her lucky horseshoe on a mission to the moon. Would the astronaut's lucky horseshoe weigh the same less or more on the moon than it did on Earth Why?

It would weigh about one sixth (1/6) as much as it does on earth - as the moon's gravity is about one sixth as it is here.


How much does an astronaut weigh on earth if it weighs 27 pounds on the moon?

About 162 pounds on Earth.


How much does a astronaut weigh on earth if it weighs 27 pounds on the moon?

162 pounds on Earth.


What makes an astronaut weigh less on the moon than the earth?

Gravitational Pull


Why would an astronaut weigh less on the moon than earth?

The moon is considerably smaller than the Earth, both in diameter and in mass, and it therefore has a much weaker gravitational field. The weight of an astronaut on the moon is the result of the mass of the astronaut, which is not changed by going to the moon, and the gravitation field of the moon. A weaker gravitational field produces a lower weight.

Is the mass of the astronaut on Mars bigger smaller or the same compared with on Earth?

You would have the same mass on the Earth as you would on the moon. You would just weigh less on the moon because there is less gravity there than on the moon.


Why does an astronaut weigh less on the moon?

The astronaut's mass is the same on the moon but the gravitational force applied on the astronaut is weaker thus the astronaut appears to weigh less.


Will an astronaut weigh more or less than the moon?

Less - since the gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on Earth.


How much would an astronaut weigh in pounds on the moon?

If an astronaut weighs 27 pounds on the moon. how much does the astronaut weigh on earth?

About 160 pounds.(Less than that if the 27 pounds on the moon included his space suit.)


If a man has a mass of 100kg on earth what will his mass on the moon be?

The question is ill-posed. Weight is mesured in Newtons (N) as it's a force, it's mass is measured in kg. There are ctually two questions mixed together here. Let's answer both: 1) If an astronaut has a mass of 100kg on earth what is his mass on the moon? 100kg - put him on a frictionless surface and try and accelerate him, it's just has hard on the moon as on earth (or anywhere else for that matter). 2) If an astronaut weighs 981N on the surface of the earth (as an astronaut of mass 100kg would) how much does he weigh on the moon? Surface gravity on the earth is 9.81m/s/s which is how we end up with the 100kg astronaut weighing 981N. On the moon surface gravity is only 1.62m/s/s so the same astronaut would weigh 162N - about 1 sixth that on earth.
