Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.
If an object has a mass of 26 g on earth would its mass be less than 26 g on the moon?
If an object has a mass of 36g on earth it will also have a mass of 26g on the moon. This is because while weight varies depending on gravity, mass is a universal constant that reflects the number of molecules in an object.It's mass would be the same (amount of matter) But it's weight would be less on the moon, yes.
Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from from the earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon
How does the weight of the mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
mass is constant 2kg on earth is 2kg on the moon. Weight depends on gravity. W = mg where g is grav. acceleration. Since gravity is less on the moon, then weight is less on the moon for the same object
Why would weigh less on the moon than you do on earth?
The gravitational pole is much weaker on the moon. Weight is the amount of gravity that pulls on an object.
Does the weight on an object the same when it is located in moon and in earth?
No. Weight is a function of gravitational force pushing down on an object.There is less gravity on the moon so the object would weigh less.

How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.

Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from that on earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon

Would an object have the same weight as it does on Earth as the moon?
No, If you were to go to the moon you would weigh less than you would on earth, that's why it is so easy to jump high on the moon, gravitational pull is weak on the moon! (:
An object weighs 300N on Earth and 50N on the moon Does the object also have less inertia on the moon?
No, inertia is dependant on mass not weight, weight is dependant on gravity.
How can an object stay the same but weight less?
Yes it is. An object's weight is the force (pull) that gravity exerts on the object's mass. Thus if you were to move the object to a place where the pull of gravity was different (from Earth's) - eg the Moon, then the object would weigh less but it would still have the same mass.
Would an object weigh more on the moon?
Any object weighs more on the moon than it does on an asteroid or comet, but less than it weighs on earth ... only about 16% of its earthly weight.
