If you were on the moon there would be a change in your?
weight
What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
Would a person's height change on the moon?
Unless you are wearing a space suit, without the Earths atmosphere, your body will expand with horrific consequences. So without any external pressure, your body volume will increase 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.
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 girl on the earth if her mass on the moon is 50 kg?
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 50 kg.What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.The weight would be 1/6th of what it is on earth (about 8.3kg)
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.
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.
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 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.
If you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?
yes it would change
Would your weight increase on the moon?
No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.
