No. Mass is constant - only the weight would be affected because weight = mass x acceleration...lower gravity on the moon means less acceleration. Mass is constant!

How would the measurable properties of a golf ball change if it was moved from the earth to the moon?

The weight of the golf ball would be about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity. The golf ball would also experience different air resistance on the moon because it has no atmosphere. Additionally, the golf ball's bounce and roll characteristics would be different on the moon's surface due to the lower gravity and lack of atmosphere.


What happens to a ball filled with air when brought to the moon?

It gets bigger due to gravity and mass,(which is much less on the moon) the ball would become larger.


Why is the mass of a bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon but the weight of a bowling ball on earth different on moon?

You need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the Bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is. WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth. The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg. However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA. Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.

Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?

Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.


What is the mass of a 20g weight on Jupiter and the moon?

The weight of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its mass would be different due to the different gravitational forces on Jupiter and the Moon. On Jupiter, the mass would be about 7.49 times greater than on Earth, and on the Moon, it would be about 1/6th of the mass on Earth.


Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?

Weight will be different on the moon as compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of location as it is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.


Which property of a coin is different on the moon than it is on earth?

Mass


Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?

The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.
