The question is ill-posed. Weight is mesured in Newtons (N) as it's a force, it's mass is measured in kg. There are ctually two questions mixed together here. Let's answer both: 1) If an astronaut has a mass of 100kg on earth what is his mass on the moon? 100kg - put him on a frictionless surface and try and accelerate him, it's just has hard on the moon as on earth (or anywhere else for that matter). 2) If an astronaut weighs 981N on the surface of the earth (as an astronaut of mass 100kg would) how much does he weigh on the moon? Surface gravity on the earth is 9.81m/s/s which is how we end up with the 100kg astronaut weighing 981N. On the moon surface gravity is only 1.62m/s/s so the same astronaut would weigh 162N - about 1 sixth that on earth.

What is the weight of 100kg man on moon?

The weight of a 100kg man on the moon would be approximately 16.5kg, because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity.


What is the force of weight of a 100kg man in earth's gravity?

The force of weight of a 100kg man in Earth's gravity is approximately 980 Newtons (N) or about 98.1 kgf (kilogram-force). This is calculated by multiplying the mass of the man (100kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).


What is the mass of a 185 lb man on the moon?

The same as on Earth or anywhere for that matter. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.


Why a man fell weightlessness in moon?

A man experiences weightlessness on the moon because the moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is approximately one-sixth that of Earth, which means that objects and people on the moon weigh less and feel lighter than they do on Earth.


Who has a greater mass a 30N man on earth or 30N man on moon?

Neither. Mass is mass. Newtons is a force not a mass, 30 N is the same on Mars or anywhere else. It is 30 N


A man who weighs 12 kg on moon will weigh on earth?

The kilogram is a measure of mass, not a measure of force. His mass will remain the same (i.e. 60kg) regardless of the gravitational field he is in. But as the moon has a weaker gravitational field than the Earth the bathroom scales that stopped at 60 on the Earth will stop at 10 on the Moon.


Why is the weight of a man reduces when the moon is at zenith?

The moon is at it's zenith when it is directly above you. Therefore, the moon's gravity is pulling the mass of a man upwards. Due to this, a small proportion of the earth's gravity is cancelled out, and the weight (in newtons) is reduced. The mass (in kilograms) stays the same


What is the gravity of the planet Mercury?

38% of earths. If a man weighing 100kg on earth he would weigh 62 kg on mercury.

How much does a 100 kg mass weigh on the moon?

Oh, dude, on the moon, a 100 kg mass would weigh about 16.5 kg because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So, like, if you're planning on a moon trip to lose some weight, I wouldn't recommend it. Just stick to the gym, man.

What is the man's weight in the moon If he weighs 198?

If he weighs 198 pounds and he goles to the moon he'll weigh 33 pounds cause u divide By six cause u weigh 1/6 less cause there is no gravity so any number u always
