How does the weight of a space probe vary en route from the earth to moon.would its mass change?

Well mass is unchanging, so lets say its 100kg (rough estimate), it would still be 100kg on earth, it will still be 100kg in Space and on the Moon. Weight however will change. To workout weight you use this equation --> WEIGHT = GRAVITY x MASS, so Earth has a gravitational pull of 10N/kg which would mean its weight on earth was 1000N. Space has no gravitational pull, so it would weigh nothing in Space. And the moon has a gravitational pull of about 1.7N/kg, so it would weigh 170N on the Moon! Hope this helped


If a man has a mass of 100kg on earth what will his mass on the moon be?

The question is ill-posed. Weight is mesured in Newtons (N) as it's a force, it's mass is measured in kg. There are ctually two questions mixed together here. Let's answer both: 1) If an astronaut has a mass of 100kg on earth what is his mass on the moon? 100kg - put him on a frictionless surface and try and accelerate him, it's just has hard on the moon as on earth (or anywhere else for that matter). 2) If an astronaut weighs 981N on the surface of the earth (as an astronaut of mass 100kg would) how much does he weigh on the moon? Surface gravity on the earth is 9.81m/s/s which is how we end up with the 100kg astronaut weighing 981N. On the moon surface gravity is only 1.62m/s/s so the same astronaut would weigh 162N - about 1 sixth that on earth.


Weight of man on the moon?

The weight of a man on the moon would be approximately 1/6th of their weight on Earth due to the lower gravity on the lunar surface. For example, if a man weighs 180 pounds on Earth, his weight on the moon would be about 30 pounds.


What is the mas of a 100kg block on the moon why?

Well technically mass is a measure of how much matter exists within a particular object and won't change even if you are on the moon. Therefore the mass of a 100 kg block will be 100 kg on the moon. If this is a school question then I would say it is a trick question and the answer is 100 kg recheck the wording and make sure it says mass and not weight. Weight is a measure that is dependent on gravitational forces and a 100 kg block will have a weight of 16.6 kg on the moon This difference in weight is due to the fact that the moon is many times smaller than the Earth and therefore the moon has less mass than the Earth. Gravitational force increases with mass, so the moon has less gravitational attraction to the block than the Earth would.


How much does a 124 lb man weight on the moon?

The weight would be approx a sixth and so it would be 661.3 pound-weight.

What is the force of weight of a 100kg man in earth's gravity?

The force of weight of a 100kg man in Earth's gravity is approximately 980 Newtons (N) or about 98.1 kgf (kilogram-force). This is calculated by multiplying the mass of the man (100kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).

Is 10 grams the best estimate for a large man?

10 grams would be very small weight for a large man. you may consider estimating well over 100kg


How much do moons weigh on the moon?

If your mass is 100kg on earth your weight on earth is 980 N on earth. The moons gravity is roughly 1.6 m/s^2 thus your weight will be 160 N I weigh 32pounds 4.3ounces on the moon, when I step out of my space-suit.
