Best Answer

60 kilos is pretty light; must be a female astronaut. Of course, by the time we're ready to set up lunar colonies, the sexes will need to be pretty evenly matched,

60kg of mass, in the Moon's approximately 1/6th gravity, would feel like it was 10 kg.

Notes: Strictly speaking weight is a force.

In SI units, mass is measured in "kilograms" and weight is measured in "newtons".

When you visit the moon your weight will what?

As the moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's, anything will weigh only 1/6th of their earth weight. For example a 60 pound beanbag will weigh 10 pounds on the moon.


The mass of 8 kg has a weight of 60 N on earth it is taken to the moon where th gravitational force is 16 of the earth what is the mass on the moon and the weight on the moon?

The mass remains 8 kg because mass is always constant. The weight would be 10 N, or one sixth of 60 N.


How can we calculate woven fabric weight by just having its area e.g 20x3060x50?

Total weight of fabric = 1 sqr meter warp + 1 sqr meter weft Total weight of fabric = 60/20 x 25 + 60/20 x25Total weight of fabric = 150 GSM.60/20x25+60/30x25 Total weight of fabric =125 gsm

What would happen to your mass and weight when you go to moon?

Anything is about 17 percent its Earth weight if on the moon. For example, if 60 pounds on Earth, it is 10 pounds on the moon. Mass of two objects that are near each other causes weight, so the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.


How do you convert how much you weigh on eath to how much you weigh in the moon?

You just take your weight divided by 6. example (60 pounds on earth = 10 pounds on the moon)

Exactly the same. Mass is the same everywhere. The weight will be 1/6 less on the moon though.


How much does a person who weight 360 newtons on earth weight on the moon if the moon has onesixth the gravity of earth?

The Gravity on the Moon is much weaker than the Gravity on Earth, the Moon's gravity is about 1/6 of the Gravity on Earth. So for example: An Object that weighs 690 N on Earth will weigh 115 N on the moon. In order to get your answer, just divide any number by 6 and you will get your answer. Answer: 360 N on Earth will result as 60 N on the moon.


If you weigh 60 pounds on earth how much do you weigh on the moon?
