What is the mass of a 20g weight on Jupiter and the moon?
The mass will be the same on Jupiter and the Moon. The mass does not change.
A rock has a mass of 0.8 kg on earth and weighs 1.8 pounds it weighs 0.29 pounds on the moon how many kg is its mass?
Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring. The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 16.3 kg. What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.
Why does an object on the moon weigh less than it does on earth even though its mass does not change?
Your mass is a measure of how much matter you're made up out of. That does not change if you go to the moon (or elsewhere). Your weight is the product of your mass AND the mass of the planet (body) you're standing on ---- divided by the distance between the two --- and the moon masses much less than the Earth. Another way of putting this is your weight is your mass multiplied by the gravitational pull, so Weight = Mass x Gravitational Pull Now, considering that the gravity of an object depends on its mass, and as said before, the Earth's mass is far greater than the moon's, the gravitation pull of the Earth (Equal to roughly 9.8 N/kg) is greater than that of the moon (Roughly 1.6 N/kg) So say someone's mass is 80kg, their weight (on Earth would be) Weight = 80 x 9.8 This means their weight is 784 Newtons on Earth, where as on the moon their would weigh Weight = 80 x 1.6 And they would weigh 128N. Hope this helps.
What explain the difference between the mass and the weight of an object?
weight is how heavy an object is; and mass is how much volume an object holds Answer 2 No, the mass is not how much volume ..... Volume and mass are not the same thing. Volume is its size measured in say cubic centimetres or cubic inches, whereas mass is measured in tons or pounds. The difference between mass and weight is that the mass does not change but the weight does (e.g. in outer space an object will have no weight but its mass will still be the same). The effect of this difference is, for example, a body in space may weigh nothing but it will still be able to resist a change in motion (i.e. it has inertia).
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.
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
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!
Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.

How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
Would your weight and mass change on the moon?
So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.
What is the mass of a 30N chicken on the moon?
The mass will not change. Its weight measured on the Moon would be 1/6th of what it is on Earth.
How does the weight and mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.
Would your weight and mass change if you were on the moon?
(Yes. The mass on the moon is 1/81 than it is on Earth.) No I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Mass is a measure of the number of particles you have, i.e how big you are Weight decreases on the moon, as it is a force caused by gravity.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Would your weight change if you went on the moon?
Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.
Suppose you took a trip to the moon how and why would your weight change would your mass change too?
Your mass would stay the same, but your weight would change. Weight is the effect of gravity acting upon an object, where as mass is the amount of matter an object has. Your "weight" measured on the Moon would be one-sixth your weight on Earth.
