What is the mass of the body on the moon surface if it weighs 120 newton on the earth surface?
To find the mass of a body, we can use the formula: weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. On Earth, the average gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s². Therefore, the mass of the body is 120 N / 9.81 m/s², which is about 12.2 kg. The mass remains the same on the Moon, but its weight would be less due to the Moon's lower gravitational acceleration (about 1.62 m/s²).
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
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 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.
Why is the gravity on the moon less than the gravity on earth?
Because the overall mass of the moon is less than the earths mass. The gravity of a body relates to the mass of that body.
How does the mass of an object on earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
there is no change in the mass of body
Why is your mass the same on Earth and the moon?
Your mass is the same on Earth and the moon because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, and it remains constant regardless of the gravitational pull. However, your weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth's gravity.
A natural or artificial body that revolves around a celestial body is greater in mass is called what?
A Moon
How do mass and weight relate?
Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.
What is the mass of the body on the moon surface if it weighs 120 newton on the earth surface?
To find the mass of a body, we can use the formula: weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. On Earth, the average gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s². Therefore, the mass of the body is 120 N / 9.81 m/s², which is about 12.2 kg. The mass remains the same on the Moon, but its weight would be less due to the Moon's lower gravitational acceleration (about 1.62 m/s²).
Will the center of gravity of the body change when it is on the moon?
No. The body's center of gravity is really its center of mass. That property is a characteristic of the body, and wherever the body goes, it doesn't change.The only thing different on the moon is the strength of the force between the moon's center of mass and the body's center of mass ... the "weight" of the body.If you've seen video of the Apollo astronauts bouncing around on the moon, it may have looked as if their centers of gravity were in a different place. But even if that was true, it was the effect of the heavy space suit and all the equipment they carried, not the result of any peculiarity of the moon's gravitational field.
Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?
Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
Your mass would remain the same on the moon as it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull on the moon.
Why would your weight be greater on the moon then the earth?
The main reason is the fact that your weight is proportional to the product of your mass multiplied by the mass of whatever large body you're standing on, and the earth's mass is roughly 80 times as much as the moon's mass..
Which one would change if you were on the moon weight or mass and why?
If you were on the moon, your weight would change, but your mass would remain the same. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and varies depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on. Since the moon has about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, you would weigh significantly less on the moon, while your mass, a measure of the amount of matter in your body, would remain constant.
When an astronaut lands on the moon its mass is?
The mass is the quantity of matter in the body and therefore it is the same on the Moon as on Earth or anywhere else, the weight however, being the force executed by gravity on the mass, changes and therefore on the Moon it would be close to 6 times less than on Earth.
