The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.6 m/sec2.

Force of gravity on a mass = Weight = (mass) x (g) = (180 x 1.6) = 288 newtons.

(That's about 16.3% of the force on it at the earth's surface.)

The formula that I used was:

(F) Force of gravity on a mass=(mass) x (g), where mass is the objects weight and g stands for gravity acceleration.

F= (180 kg) x (9.8 m/s2)

F= 1764 N

then F= 1764N/6 ( divide by 6 because the gravity acceleration on the moon is about 1/6th that of earth)

F= 294N

(If you were to take the gravity acceleration on earth (9.8 m/sec2) and divide by 6 you get 1.633333 ect.)

The object's force on the moon's surface is 294N


An object has a mass of 180kg on the moon what is the force of gravity acting on the object on the moon?

The force of gravity acting on an object on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth. Therefore, the force of gravity acting on an object with a mass of 180kg on the moon would be approximately 180kg * 1/6 = 30kg.


An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity acting on theobject on the moon?

To find the force of gravity that is acting on the moon you have to take the mass of the object and multiply it by the moon's gravity. It would be 180 kg times 1.63 m/s squared. Which equals 293.4 Newtons.


What effect does gravity have on the mass of an object?

Gravity has no effect on the mass of an object. However, an object's weight is the measurement of gravitational force on the object. The gravitational force on the moon for example is ~ 1/6 of that on Earth. A 300 kg object would weigh 3000N (Newtons) on the Earth but only weigh 500 N on the Moon but its mass would still be 300 kg on the Moon and on the Earth.


How does mass determine the force of gravity of an object in space such as the earth or moon?

Mass doesn't change when gravity is applied. Mass: The amount of matter in an object VS. Weight: The force of gravity on an object. Example: A cow is 800 kg on Earth, and 800 kg on the moon because you are not changing what the cow is made of.


Is Weight is the force of gravity on an object?

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It is the product of an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity (W = m x g), where 'm' is the object's mass and 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth).


An object has a mass of 180kg on the moon what is the force of gravity acting on the object of the moon?

The weight of a 180-kg mass on the surface of the moon, rounded, is 292.1 newtons (65.67 pounds) .


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.


What is the relationship mass and the force of gravity?

Mass is a measure of how much matter something has. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on that mass. So an object that weighs 1kg on Earth would weigh less on the Moon which has less gravity even though the mass of the object is constant. The relationship is: Force of gravity on an object in a certain place = (object's mass) x (acceleration of gravity in that place) .


An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity acting on the?

The force of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that on Earth, so the force of gravity on a 180 kg object on the moon would be 1/6th of its weight on Earth. Therefore, the force of gravity on the object would be about 180 kg * 1/6 = 30 kg.


Is the mass of an object more on the moon?

No, the mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located in the universe. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity, will be less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull.


What has more mass a 10n object on the moon or a 10n object on earth?

The 10N object has the same mass whether on the moon or on Earth. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be lower on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth.
