The gravity acceleration on the moon is 16 that on earth. Erath gravity is 9.8 m/sec/sec and n moon is 1.63 m/sec/sec
Weight on earth is 9.8 x 100 = 980 Newtons
Weight on moon is 1.63 x 100 = 163 Newtons
Do not confuse mass with weight - mass is the same (100kg) but weight is different
Weight = mass x acceleration of gravity

gravitational acceleration at moon's surface = 0.165 g
1 g = 9.8 m/s^2
Now you can figure it out. You'll learn more this way.

∙ 10y agomultiply by 6 to find the object's weight on Earth, that is 690 Newtons. That is the weight of an object with a mass of 690/9.806 kg, or 70.3 kg.

∙ 8y agoThe gravitational pull on the moon is 1.622 m/s². So a 100 kg mass would weigh 1.622 m/s² x 100 kg = 162.2 kg.ms-² = 162 Newtons. For comparison on Earth that mass would weigh 981 Newtons.

What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
Weight and mass on other planets?
If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.
How much will I weigh on Jupiter's moon Io?
It depens on how much you weigh. 100 pouns on earth only weighs 18 puond on Io.
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.
Where would you have less matter earth or the moon?
Neither. Matter doesn't change on any planet , nor does mass. Only weight does. If your weigh 100 pounds on Earth you'd be 15 pounds on the moon (about 1/6 as much)
Does the moon has gravity?
Every mass has gravity. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 16 pounds on the moon.
Is the moons gravity one sixth of earth?
As good as. If you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you would weigh 16.54 lbs on the moon. One sixth of 100 equals 16.6666.... Close enough.
How much do you weigh on the moom?
About 1/6 of what you weigh on Earth. For example, if you have a mass of 60 kg, on Earth you weight about 600 N, while on the Moon you would weight about 100 N.

How much does 100 kg mass weigh in pounds?
100kg = 220.5 pounds.
How much will a tea cup weigh 100 ml or 100 l?
Neither. Millilitres measure volume not mass. Grams measure mass

How much mass does a small notepad weigh?
13 A notepad will weigh about 100-200g, though this can vary.
If you weighed 100 pounds on the moon how much would you likely weigh on the earth?
600 lbs
