Does a person weight increase or decrease if they were to weight themselves on the moon?
It decreases
Do snow shoes increase or decrease a persons weight in deep snow?
They don't do anything to a person's weight. What they do is allow what weight there is to be spread over a greater area, which means that the pressure on the ground is lower. With less pressure, a person doesn't sink as far into the snow.
If Earth's tides decrease what would be the most likely explanation?
A shift in the orbit of the moon.
When a person's weight falls below a certain set point the organism is likely to experience what?
decrease in hunger and a decrease in its metabolic rate
How would weight lifting be different on the moon compared to earth?
You weight less
Does your weight increase or decrease on the moon?
Your weight would decrease if you landed on the moon, because the moon's gravitational force is about a sixth of Earth's. That means that your weight would decrease greatly.
Does a person weight increase or decrease if they were to weight themselves on the moon?
It decreases
When an astronaut goes to the moon which will decrease his mass or his weight?
The astronaut from the country that has a space program that wants to send a person to the moon's weight will decrease due to the fact that weight is directly related to gravity.
What would a persons weight be on the moon if they weigh 150 pounds on earth?
25 pounds on the Moon.
What would be a persons weight on moon if his weight on earth is 72 kg?
12 kg or 1/6th.
Where would a person have less mass?
A persons mass never changes. A persons WEIGHT changes according to the amount of gravitational force put on the object. Some 1 on the moon WEIGHS less on the moon but still has the same mass. Mass plays a factor in the weight but a persons mass never changes by where the person is or so I think.
What happens to a persons weight on the moon as opposed to the earth?
It becomes lighter due to less gravitational pull
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
If you were to take a radio to the moon would correctly describe the changes to its mass and weight?
It's weight would decrease, and it's mass would remain the same.
Why doesn't the Moon's orbit decrease?
diana trees is so amazing that the moon doesn't want to decrease it's orbit.
