Because earth is a larger planet than the moon, it has a stronger gravity.
Bigger the planet > Stronger the gravity.
That is the rule. Since our moon is a much smaller planet, it has weak gravity, and so the object is not being pulled down as hard, so it reduces the overall mass.
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because of the gravity.
Because of the gravity.
Yeah, but the weight will be different
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
