Why is acceleration due to gravity less on moon?
Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon compared to Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the celestial body, so a smaller mass like the Moon results in weaker gravity. This causes objects to fall more slowly on the Moon than on Earth.
What happens to your mass when on the moon?
Nothing!!! You do NOT loose mass. You have the same amount of matter. However, because the Moon's gravitational acceleration is less than on Earth. you will weigh less. Remember Newton's Second Law of Universal Dynamics ; Force is directly propotional to acceleration(gravity). F = ma 'm; remains constant on Earth and Moon. However, 'a' is much less on the Moon , so 'F' (Force) your weight is less on the Moon.
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
What is the acceleration that any object falls with toward earth?
The acceleration on earth is 9.807 meters per second squared. In comparison, the moon's acceleration is only 1.62 m/sec squared; about 6.05 times less. This is why objects on earth weigh six times less on the moon.
Why does acceleration differ in moon and earth?
everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.

What is the acceleration of the moon towards the earth?
The acceleration of the moon towards the earth is approximately 0.0027 m/s2.

Why is the mass of an object same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.
How is the Moon's gravity composed to earth?
The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the moon, and therefore the weight of objects located there, is about 83.5 percent less than on Earth. An object on the surface of the moon weighs about 1/6 of what it weighs on Earth.
How would mass and weight be similar and different in the moon and earth?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass is constant, regardless on the acceleration due to gravity of different planets. So, if someone were to compare their mass on Earth and on the Moon, it would be the same, because the amount of matter in object would not change. However, weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object. If you were to weigh yourself on Earth and on the Moon, you'd weigh much less on the Moon since there is less acceleration due to gravity. Recall that acceleration due to gravity on Earth is -9.81m/s^2.
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
What would happen to the spring in the bathroomscale if you stepped on it on the moon?
If would move a lot less. If you weighed 150 lb on Earth you would only weigh 25 lb on the moon.
Astronauts weigh less on the moon than on earth because?
while the mass of the astronaut doesn't change the acceleration of gravity on the moon is much less than that on earth. Since weight is a measure of force (N)=m(kg)xa(m/(ss)), a decreased gravity on the moon would mean a decreased weight
