The mass remains 8 kg because mass is always constant. The weight would be 10 N, or one sixth of 60 N.

What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?

The mass of the body remains the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which does not change. However, the weight of the body will be different on the moon compared to Earth, as weight depends on the gravitational pull on an object. The gravitational force on the moon is around 1/6th of that on Earth, so the body will weigh approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth when on the moon.


Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?

Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.


How would the weight of an object chnage if it is initially weighed in delhi and then taken to the pole?

The weight of an object would not change when taken from Delhi to the pole. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and this force remains constant regardless of location. The object's mass would remain the same, but its weight may be perceived differently due to variations in gravity strength at different locations.


Is the gravitational pull the same on all objects?

The acceleration due to gravity is taken as a constant (9.81 m/s2). This constant is acceptable at the earths surface, but the actual acceleration is a function of the distance from the center of the earth. Gravitational pull implies force which is a function of acceleration and mass (F=ma). So, no gravitational pull is not the same on all objects.


What force makes objects toward accelerate towards of the earth at 9.8 ms2?

Gravitational forceThis force can be calculated two ways:Use the Universal Gravitational force formula: F = G(m1me)/r2 (where G is a constant of 6.67 x 10-11, m1 is the mass of the object, me is the mass of the earth and r is the distance between the center of mass of the object and the center of the earth.)Use Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma (where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration due to gravity which equals -9.8 m/s2)Use #1 if the object is in outer space and use #2 if the object is on earth or relatively close to the earth's surface.Note: The gravitational attraction is mutual. It accelerates the earth and the object toward each other, a negligible consideration in most cases, but is taken into account by formula #1.

What happens to the objects weight when it travel's to the moon?

weight is defined as the force acting on a body in a gravitational field, so it is can be written asW = mg where m is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to gravity.On earth g has a value of approx. 9.81 ms-2 whereas on the moon the value of g is approx. 1.7ms-2. So the weight of an object decreases by a factor of 1/6th of its original value when taken on the moon.


What is weight force?

Weight is a force because force is defined as a push or pull on an object, and due to an object's mass on earth,another force (gravity) pulls on an object. The measure of weight(Fg) is the force gravity acting on an object. The force gravity is always directed downward.


Does mass or weight change on moon?

<p> Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object. There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected. Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be: 98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N *The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>


Is the gravitational force is a conservative force?

Yes, gravitational force is a conservative force. This means that the work done by gravity does not depend on the path taken by an object, but only on the initial and final positions.


Does the weight of heavy objects change when placed on a lever?

No, the weight never changes unless the object is taken to a different gravitational field. The force required to move them changes, but this is only an application of mechanical advantage.


A spring balance would not weigh the accurately at all locations on earth because?

The gravity of earth is not uniform throughout the entire surface of earth. Gravitational force changes with altitude and is different at poles and at the equator. As spring balance relies on the gravitational pull of earth, it can not weigh accurately at all locations.


Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?

Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.


What would be the effect on mass and the weight of an object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity ofearth?

The mass won't change (except for insignificant effect due to the Theory of Relativity); the weight will be twice as much. I am assuming you mean the gravitational field; that is, the gravitational acceleration will be twice as much.


When a body is taken away against gravitational force what happens to its potential energy?

It increases.


Who found mass?

In physics, mass (from Greek μᾶζα "barley cake, lump (of dough)"), more specifically inertial mass, can be defined as a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to acceleration. In addition to this, gravitational mass can be described as a measure of magnitude of the gravitational force which isexerted by an object (active gravitational mass), orexperienced by an object (passive gravitational force)when interacting with a second object. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).In everyday usage, mass is often referred to as "weight", the units of which are often taken to be kilograms (for instance, a person's weight may be stated as 75 kg). In scientific use, however, the term "weight" refers to adifferent, yet related, property of matter. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a given body-which differs depending on the gravitational pull of the opposing body (e.g. a person's weight on Earth vs on the Moon) - while mass is an intrinsic property of that body that never changes. In other words, an object's weight depends on its environment, while its mass does not. On the surface of the Earth, an object with a mass of 50 kilograms weighs 491 Newtons; on the surface of the Moon, the same object still has a mass of 50 kilograms but weighs only 81.5 Newtons. Restated in mathematical terms, on the surface of the Earth, the weight w of an object is related to its mass m by w = mg, where g=9.80665 m s-2 is the Earth's gravitational field.
