What is the weight of a 42 kg object if the object was on the moon where g is always 1.6 ms?

The mass of an object does not depend on gravitational pull. Their mass would still be 42 g on the moon.
(By the way, that's one small person, with the mass of about 3 empty soda cans...)

∙ 12y agoIf the object's mass is 24 kg, then it's 24 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars,
or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another.
Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.

Would an object weigh more on the moon?
Any object weighs more on the moon than it does on an asteroid or comet, but less than it weighs on earth ... only about 16% of its earthly weight.
Do moon have gravity?
Everything has gravity. Your weight on the moon is about 16 percent of what it is on Earth.
The mass of 8 kg has a weight of 60 N on earth it is taken to the moon where th gravitational force is 16 of the earth what is the mass on the moon and the weight on the moon?
The mass remains 8 kg because mass is always constant. The weight would be 10 N, or one sixth of 60 N.
Where would your weight be greater the moon or earth?
The Earth. Reason ; The gravitational acceleration on Earth is greater than the gravitational acceleration on the Moon. Be the person on the Earth or the Moon, they still have the same amount of matter. However, when that mass is multiplied to the gravitational acceleration, we find that the weight on Earth is greater than the weight on the Moon. If you see film of astronauts on the Moon they appear to bounce or float around; they are still the same size and shape. This is because they weigh less due to less gravitational acceleration on the Moon.
Would your weight and mass change if you were on the moon?
(Yes. The mass on the moon is 1/81 than it is on Earth.) No I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Mass is a measure of the number of particles you have, i.e how big you are Weight decreases on the moon, as it is a force caused by gravity.
What happens to weight on the moon?
Nothing happens to the weight of an object on the moon. It remains constant, at about 16% of what the same object weighs when it's on the Earth.
A 10 kg object on the moon would have?
Would an object weigh more on the moon?

What would be the weight of a 10 kg object on the Moon and on Earth?
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
How different is the force of gravity on the moon?
The force between the earth and an object on its surface is about 6 times as great as the force between the moon and the same object on its surface.For every 100 pounds of weight that the object has on earth, the same object weighs about 16 pounds on the moon.Objects also fall about 1/6th as fast on the moon as they fall on earth. That's another subject for discussion.

What is the gravitational pull of the moon in comparison to the earth?
On the moon, any object weighs about 16% as much as it weighs when it's on the earth.

What is the weight in newtons of a 10kg object on the moon and on the earth?
On the moon, 10 kg of mass weighs 16.2 newtons (3.65 pounds). (rounded)
Is an astronaut lighter on the moon?
Anyone on the moon has the same mass as he has anywhere else, but because the moon's gravity is only a small fraction of what earth gravity is, he will weigh less, and will feel like he is lighter. Remember that mass is "fixed" for a person or object, but "weight" can vary depending on the gravity in which the mass is placed. Your mass on earth and on the moon are the same. Your weight on the moon will be only a bit more than .16 times what it is on earth. A "rough" figure is that you weigh about 1/7th as much on the moon as on earth.
Would your weight and mass change if you were on the moon?
