If the object's mass is 5 kg, then it's 5 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars,
or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another.
Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.

∙ 13y agoAn object with a mass of 5.0 kg has a mass of 5.0 kg on earth, on the moon, at the
bottom of Jupiter's atmosphere, thirty miles outside a black hole, or in a space ship
cruising from one to another of these places. You take your mass with you, and it
doesn't change.
Your weight changes. It depends on your mass, on the other masses that are nearby,
and on how far you are from them.
When your 5.0 kg object sits on the surface of the moon, it weighs about 1.8 pounds.
When it sits on the surface of the earth, it's still 5.0 kg of mass, but here it weighs
11.02 pounds. It weighs 4.2 pounds on Mars, 10 pounds on Venus, 29 pounds on
Jupiter, 10.5 ounces on Pluto, and nothing at all in the space ship coasting from
one place to the other.
But wherever it is, it's still 5.0 kg of mass

What is the mass of an object anywhere in the universe?
The mass of an object is unaffected by gravitational forces. Assuming we ignore relativistic effects (mass increase to infinite and so on) we can say that an object with a mass of 5kg will have that mass anywhere in the universe (within reason). On the other hand, an object that WEIGHS 5kg on earth will have a measured weight that varies considerably depending upon what gravitational fields are affecting it.
How much would it weigh on the moon if the object weighed 30 newtons on earth?
Because F=mg -> m=F/g On earth g=10 m/sec2 so m1=30/10=3 kg On the Moon g=0.16 m/sec2 so m2=30/0.16=180 kg m2
How many newtons does a 5-kg backpack weigh on earth?
First of all, I will tell you the quick and easy way to find the answer. The equation is 9.8 multiplied by 5. You always use the number 9.8 because that is the measurement of Earth's gravity. You use the number 5 because that is the mass of the object you are measuring. That number changes depending on the object's mass. A 5kg backpack would weigh 49 Newtons on Earth. Good luck with science or whatever you needed this for!!
How much lighter will you be on the moon if you are now 20kg?
If I were to be in space which would be awsome I would be or you would be 3kg on the moon. If you were 30 kg you would be 5kg on the moon.
How much would a 5.0 kg puppy weigh on earth?
If it was weighed on the moon it would be 3kgs but obviously f it was weighed on earth it would be 5 kgs. if it was 5kg on the moon it would be about 8.2 kgs on earth

What is the qualitative and quantitive observations of an object if the sides measure 4cm and the mass is 5kg?
This object is very heavy weight.
What is the mass of a 5 kg on the earth moon mars and Jupiter?
Since mass is constant no matter what the gravity is, the mass would stay 5kg if you're on the moon, Earth, the Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Pluto, etc...Answers.com
1kg equals 1000g A 5kg object has less inertia than an object with a mass of what?
Strictly, kg (kilogrammes) is a unit of weight rather than mass, which is measured in N (Newtons). This is important, because the MASS of an object does not change, whereas its WEIGHT does change according to the gravitational pull it is experiencing. On earth 1kg is about 10N. On the moon, say, something weighing 1kg would have a MASS of a little over 60N. If we change the word 'mass' in your question to 'weight', then the answer would be 'anything greater than 5kg'. If not, then 'anything greater than 50N subject to gravitational forces on the Earth's surface'. An object's INERTIA is the force that must be overcome in order to change its position (if stationary): so, it is clearly easier to move a 5kg object than it is to move any object that is heavier.
The mass of water is 5kg It is then decreases by 1 kg What is the final mass of water 1kg or 4kg?
It is: 5kg-1kg = 4kg
What is the mass if the force is 10N and the acceleration is 2m second squared?
The mass is 5kg
What is the mass if a rock that weighs 49 newtons?
The rock's mass on earth will be 5kg (mass = force in newtons / 9.807)
What is the mass of a dog if it has a mass of 10 kilograms plus half of its mass?
a 10 kilogram dog + half of its mass (5kg) would be 15kg.
What does mean by the fact that the mass of a body is 5 kg?
Mass is that property of an object which:Gives it inertia. More mass means it is harder to change an object's velocity.Makes it attract other objects, via the gravitational force. This is what gives the object its weight. (Weight also depends on the gravitational field.)The kg (kilogram) is the international unit for mass. It is APPROXIMATELY equal to the mass of one liter of water.
A case half full of apples has a mass of 8kg the same case when one quarter full has a mass of 5kg what is the mass of the empty case?
2 kgs
The mass of water is 5kgIt is then decrease by 0.5kg So the final mass of water is 0.5kg or 4.5kg?
It is: 5kg-0.5kg = 4.5kg
Whose density is less 5kg of water or 5kg of mercury?
Water's density is always less than that of mercury regardless of mass.
