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.
Ocean tides would be most affected by a change in the moon's mass. A larger moon mass would increase the gravitational pull on the Earth, causing stronger and higher tides.
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.
The moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. If something weighed 60 pounds on Earth it would weigh ten pounds on the Moon. The mass of the object would not change, as mass is the measurement of how much stuff you are.
No, our mass would not change when we go to the Moon; mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location. However, our weight would change due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth's. This means you would weigh significantly less on the Moon, but your mass would stay the same.
The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
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!
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.

The moon has 1/6th the gravity of the Earth. If something weighed 60 pounds on Earth it would weigh ten pounds on the Moon. The mass of the object would not change, as mass is the measurement of how much stuff you are.
If a student's mass is 40kg on earth, then his mass is 40kg wherever in the universe he goes. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the gravitational force between each mass and the other masses in the vicinity of the first one. That force is what we call "weight".
A person's mass is the same on the moon as it is on Earth because mass does not change based on location. However, their weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.
Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring.The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 50 kg.What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.The weight would be 1/6th of what it is on earth (about 8.3kg)
Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.
(Yes. The mass on the moon is 1/81 than it is on Earth.) No I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Mass is a measure of the number of particles you have, i.e how big you are Weight decreases on the moon, as it is a force caused by gravity.
The astronauts' mass did not change when they were on the Moon. Mass remains constant regardless of location. However, their weight would have been less on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth.
