The equation to determine the weight of a body on the earth or moon is a modification of Newton's second law, W = mg, where W is weight in Newtons, m is mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s2.
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 9.8m/s2. A 20kg mass on the earth would weigh W = 20kg x 9.8m/s2 = 196N.
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 1.63m/s2. A 20kg mass on the moon would weigh W = 20kg x 1.63m/s2 = 32.6N.

How much would 50N weigh on the moon?
5.95 kg
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?
Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
What would 1 kg weight on the moon?
Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon. But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same. You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc. So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.
Why is the weight of an object on the moon is one six the weight on the earth?
this is because the gravitational pull on the moon is less than the earth. on earth it is 9.81 newton while on moon it is 1.67 newton.
How much would 50N weigh on the moon?
5.95 kg
What would the weight of a 352 newton object be on the moon?
The weight of a 352 newton object on the moon would be 1/6th of its weight on Earth. So, on the moon, the weight of a 352 newton object would be about 58.67 newtons.
How much is 120mg on the moon?
An object whose mass is 120 milligrams has the same mass wherever it is ... whether on earth,on the moon, on Jupiter, or in space on the way. Mass doesn't change.What changes is the weight of that mass. The weight is the result of the gravitational attractionbetween that little mass and whatever other mass happens to be nearby.On earth, 120 mg of mass weighs about about 0.00176 newton (0.000265 pound).On the moon, 120 mg of mass weighs about 0.000192 newton (0.0000432 pound).
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
If a person weighs 120 kg on earth then what will he weigh on the moon?
kg (kilogram) is a measure of mass, not of weight. If a person has a mass of 120 kg on Earth, he will also have a mass of 120 kg on the Moon. His weight will change, his mass won't change.Mass is measured in kilograms and weight is measured in newtons..In daily life we use to say that this person having weight 120 kg but that is not correct .But in scientific language we must say that person is having a mass of 120 kg and his weightwould be calculated according to gravity of earth that is 9.8m/sec .Weight is actually the force ...so weight would beforce = acceleration * massweight = gravity * massweight =9.8 * 120=1176 newton(On earth)Gravity on moon is 1/6 of earth i.e. 9.8/6=1.64m/secAnd on moon also the mass would be 120 kg and the weight would beforce = acceleration * massweight = gravity * massweight = 1.64 * 120=196.8 newton (On Moon)As you can see the weight(force) on earth is 1176 newtonfor person having mass 120 kg and the weight(force) on moon is 196.8 newton.As the force on man on earth is 1176 newton so he would feel much more heavier.And the force on man on moon is 196.8 newton so he would feel lighter there.So the person having mass 120 kg will have more weight(force) on earth than on moon.Dont get confuse between mass and weight ...if you are 55 kg ...in daily use word we say our weight is 55 kg but that is not weight instead it's your mass and your weight is (55*9.8=539 newton) means you have mass 55 kg and weight 539 newton...if you still get problem do mail mevivianpeter2@gmail.comI m ready to help you
Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?
Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.
What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
What is weight of the moon?
The mass of Earth's moon is about 7.3477 X 1022 kilograms, or about 1.23 % of the mass of the earth.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
How many kg's in one newton?
Grams and kilograms are not weights and they're not forces. They're masses. On Earth, 1kg of mass weighs 9.81 newtons. On Earth, 1 newton is the weight of about 0.102 kilogram of mass. On the moon, the same 1 kg of mass weighs 1.62 newtons. On the moon, 1 newton is the weight of about 0.616 kg of mass. On Mars, the same 1 kg of mass weighs 3.722 newtons. On Mars, 1 newton is the weight of about 0.269 kg of mass. 1 N = 0.102 Kg. OR 1N=0.224 pound (Imperial) 1 KN (KiloNewton) = 102 Kg.
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.
