Your mass would still be 60 kilograms on the Moon. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it remains the same regardless of the gravitational pull. However, your weight would be different on the Moon due to the difference in gravitational force compared to Earth.

If a person's mass is sixty kilograms on the earth what is the mass on the moon?

The person's mass on the moon is still 60 kilograms. Their weight would be about 10 kg.


What is the person's mass on earth if they are 60 kilograms?

1/6th


What is the metric unit of a piece of chalk?

In the metric (SI) system, the term massis used instead ofweight. Weight is a measure of how heavy something is, whereas mass is a measure of the amount of matter. To illustrate, something that weighs 60 pounds on the earth would only weigh about 10 pounds on the moon (due to the lower gravity of the moon), whereas something the has a mass of 60 Kilograms on the earth would still have a mass of 60 kilograms on the moon (as the amount of matter is unchanged). Consequently, the statement that 1 kilogram is 2.21 pounds is true here on earth but not elsewhere (a point mainly of interest to scientists).


If an object has a mass on earth is 60 units what will be the mass of the same object on the moon?

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


How does your mas on earth compare to your mass on the moon?

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.


What will be the mass of a person on the moon having a mass of 60kg on the earth?

The mass of a person remains the same regardless of location, so a person with a mass of 60kg on Earth will also have a mass of 60kg on the Moon. However, their weight would be different due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull.


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 of an object remains constant regardless of location, so the mass on the moon remains 8 kg. The weight on the moon can be calculated using the formula: Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of Earth, the weight on the moon would be 1/6th of the weight on Earth, which is 10 N (60 N * 1/6).


Is it true that you have less mass on the moon and therefore you weigh less?

No, your mass remains exactly the same. It is gravity that changes. The moon has about 1/6 the gravity of the surface of the earth, so you weigh about 1/6 as much. For example, a person who has a mass of 60 kg weighs about 132 pounds on earth, or about 22 pounds on the moon, but the mass remains 60 kg.


What size is 60 kilograms?

Kilogram is a unit of mass, not of size. An object with a mass of 60 kilograms can be just about any size, depending on its shape and density.

What is the size difference of the earth and the moon?

In rough rounded figures . . . -- The moon's diameter is 27.3% the size of the Earth's diameter. -- That makes the moon's surface area 7.5% the size of Earth's surface area. -- And it makes the moon's volume 2% the size of the Earth's volume. -- The moon's mass is 1.23% the size of the Earth's mass. (When we notice that the moon has 2% of Earth's volume but only 1.23% its mass, we realize immediately that the moon's average density is only 60% of the Earth's average density.)


The moon is approximately the size of which part of the Earth?

The moon's mass is 7.35 x 1022 kg, about 1.2 percent of Earth's mass. Put another way, Earth weighs 81 times more than the moon. The moon's density is 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter (3.34 g/cm3). That is about 60 percent of Earth's density.
