If a man has a mass of 100kg on earth what will his mass on the moon be?

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.

∙ 14y agoAn object that has a mass of 100 kg. on Earth will have a mass of 100 kg. on the Moon; it will also have a mass of 100 kg. if you take it into space, far from any gravitational attraction.
What changes, as a function of gravity, is the object's weight.

∙ 12y agoAn astronaut on the Moon would weigh about 1/6th that on Earth.
So 100lb on the Earth would be 16.6lb on the Moon.

∙ 6y agoIf you weighed 100 kg on Earth, you would weigh a mere 16.5 kg on the Moon.

Mass doesn't change, (unless you are moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light).

What is the weight of 100kg man on moon?
my weight on moon will be 16.6 kg
What is the man's weight in the moon If he weighs 198?
If a man weighs 198 pounds on Earth, his mass on Earth is 90 kilograms. If you can answer A & B: b. What is his mass on the Moon? Explain:
The mass of a man on earth is?
... the same as the mass of the same man anywhere else.
Do you weigh more or less during a full moon?
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
You are you lighter on the moon or heavier?
Since the moon's mass (the amount of matter it contains) is smaller than earth's, the moon has a weaker gravity pull, only one-sixth the pull of earth. This means that everything is six times lighter on the moon than it is on earth. A person weighing 120 pounds on earth would weigh only 20 pounds on the moon. Because man is light enough to float on the moon, heavy weights have to be put into astronauts' moon-walking boots!
What is the weight of 100kg man on moon?
my weight on moon will be 16.6 kg
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.
What is the force of weight of a 100kg man in earth's gravity?
As we know Force=mass x acceleration(gravity). A 100 Kg person will have mass = 100/9.8. Now u can calculate force. Use Gravity= 9.8
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.
What can see on earth when you are on the moon that is man made?
The moon is not man made
What is the man's weight in the moon If he weighs 198?
If a man weighs 198 pounds on Earth, his mass on Earth is 90 kilograms. If you can answer A & B: b. What is his mass on the Moon? Explain:
How does your weight change while on a different planet?
Your weight, or any objects weight, is a function of your mass and the local gravitational force. Planets such as Mars and Mercury, or even the moon have much lower gravity, since these bodies are smaller and less massive. So your weight will be less, though your mass will remain the same. I will still be a 100kg man (my mass), but on Mercury I will weigh 38kg.
The mass of a man on earth is?
... the same as the mass of the same man anywhere else.
What is blood volume of a 100kg man?
