Describe how your weight and mass would change as you moved from the earth to the moon?

Answer 1

The force of gravity would weaken as you got further away from the Earth's surface and into outer space and therefore your weight would change. As you got nearer to the Moon, your weight would increase again but only to about 1/6th of your weight on Earth due to the fact the Moon's gravity is around 6 times less than that of Earth's.

Your mass would not change.

Answer 2

Your weight would change because of the Moon's lower gravity, but your mass would remain the same because no matter is added or taken away from you

Mass is the same, it is weight that is different due to the force of gravity. The mass of a body is a measure of how much matter it contains.

Yes, mass is the same everywhere. Weight on the other hand depends on the gravity where the object is located. An object that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 16.6 pounds on the Moon

Yes, mass is the same. Mass is a measurement of how much matter an object contains. Mass is not affected by gravity.

Mass will stay the same. the weight will change due to gravity. !

Your mass on the moon would be the same as your mass on earth. Mass is the actual amount of matter present. Your weight would change since the moon has a different gravitational acceleration than earth.

We = ( m ) ( ge )

Wm = ( m ) ( gm )

• The mass is the same
• the Moon has about 1/6th the gravity on earth. Accordingly, the weight on the moon is 1/6th the weight on earth.

Answer 3

Yes ! Your mass would be the same on Earth, its moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Pluto.

Mass is the actual amount of matter present for you, any person, or any object.

However, weight would vary with location. Weight is gravitational force on you or any other object and depends upon the local gravitational acceleration. Weight, mass, and gravitational acceleration are related by :

W on earth = ( m ) ( g for earth)

W on moon = ( m ) ( g for earth's moon )

where g for earth equals 9.807 m per sec^2 and g for earth's moon equals about 1.625 m per sec^2.

Answer 4

if you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon.

Answer 5

Yes, your mass remains the same no matter where you are. It id your weight that changes based on the pull of gravity.

Answer 6

The object's mass remains the same whether it is in the middle of interstellar space, on the moon, on the earth, or any of the other planets of our solar system.

Answer 7

No, your mass is the same, but your weight is different. Weight takes into account the local gravitational field strength, its a function of your mass x gravitational field strength.

Answer 8

It would be about 84% less on the moon.
