-- Your mass doesn't change. No matter where you go, mass is what you bring with you.
-- If you take your mass to the Moon, it will weigh about 16.5% as much as it weighs on Earth.
If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 24 pounds 13.2 ounces on the moon.
In between ... on the way there, comfy and coasting in your space capsule on
the way from the Earth to the Moon, you would weigh zero, and you would
float around in the space capsule. Unless you snugged a loop of your shoelace
around a hook on the wall in order to get some sleep.
It would double.
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
It wouldn't. Your weight would change, because it is equal to mass times acceleration, and the acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would weight about 1/6th as much on the moon as on the Earth. But mass is constant, regardless of where you are. Mass does increase with increased speed, however, according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Your weight would decrease because the gravitational force acting on you would be lower due to the increased distance from Earth's center. However, your mass would remain the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change based on location.
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
If earth's mass were to remain the same, your weight would be constant, i.e. it would not change.
It would double.
Yes. The weight is simply the mass, multiplied by the gravity.
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
Mass is the amount of material that you are comprised of, whereas weight is how heavy that mass is in the level of gravity where it resides.
If Earth had twice its current mass, the gravitational force would increase, and objects would weigh twice as much as they do now. This means that a person weighing 150 pounds on Earth would weigh 300 pounds on the hypothetical Earth with double the mass. The weight change would be a direct result of the increase in gravitational pull due to the added mass.
It would double.
It would be greater.
It would be greater.
It would be greater.
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
