The weight of an object is the force exerted on it by gravity. On the Moon, gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. Therefore, a 1 kg object would weigh approximately 1.6 newtons on the Moon, compared to about 9.8 newtons on Earth.

What is the weight of a 1kg object on the surface of the moon?

The weight of a 1kg object on the surface of the Moon would be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This means the object would weigh about 0.1667 kg on the Moon due to the Moon's lower gravity compared to Earth's.


If a toy has a weight of 1kg what is its earth weight?

The weight of an object on Earth is the same as its mass, which is 1kg in this case. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


Why is mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?

Well, no matter what, our mass would be the same where ever you go. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Theres no way that you could just lose a little mass simply by going to the moon, its impossible.


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.


If a planet existed whose mass was twice that of earth and whose radius is 3 times that of earth.how much will a body of 1kg mass weight on this planet?

The mass is twice as much, so multiply by 2. The radius is 3 times as much--the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the radius, so multiply by 1/9.2 X 1kg/9 = 0.2 kg.

How much is 1 kg?

The weight of any object is caused by the gravitational field of the nearest, large object. For a 1kg mass on the Earth its weight is about 10 Newtons. On the moon, the same 1kg mass would have a weight of about 2 Newtons.

What is the volume of 1kg stone?

Without knowing the density of an object, it's not possible to calculate it's volume by weight. A 1kg piece of granite and a 1kg piece of igneous rock would be very different in volume.


What is the force of gravity on an object's mass?

None, an objects mass (how much stuff there is as measured in kg and g or lb and oz if your old fashioned) is constant, no matter where it is in the universe.Gravity affects weight. The amount of gravity changes how much force (weight) is exerted on an object of a specific mass.E.g., on Earth, a 1kg object has a weight force of 10N towards the centre of the planet.On the Moon, the same 1kg object only has a 1.6N force exerted on it towards the centre, because the Moon has a weaker gravitational field than Earth.


What do you do to get a mass?

Mass is the measure of the amount of material in the object being directly related to the number and type of atoms present in the object. Mass does not change with the body's position, movement or alteration of its shape unless material is added or removed. The weight of the object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity. Since the weight is a force, density is mass/volume. If an object has a mass of 1kg on Earth is would have a mass of 1kg on the moon even though it would weigh 1/6th. as much. Mass is inertial property


Can one material weigh less than another but have greater mass?

the Weight of an object is the force gravity exerts on it. So if you take a 1kg mass, on earth it pushes down 9.8n. but on say, the moon, you could take a 2kg mass, the amount of force it exerts downwards (the weight) would be less then the 1kg does on earth. So yes, but not if they are in the same place!


What weights 1kg?

A 1kg weight would be equivalent to approximately 2.2 pounds, or about the weight of a medium-sized pineapple.


How much do objets weigh on the moon than the earth?

Any object on the moon weighs 1/6th of what it weighs on Earth. For e.g., a 6kg object will weigh only 1kg on the moon.


Whats the units of weight and mass?

The units used for weight and mass are the same but there is a subtle difference in the meaning.Take for instance an amount of substance that has a mass of 1kg. On earth it would weigh 1 kg. Taking the same object into space it would weigh nothing but would still have a mass of 1 kg. This is called inertial mass. Taking the object to the moon and it would still have a mass of 1 kg but would weigh about 1/6 of a kg. Weight is dependant on the gravitational field where the object is. This is a simplified explanation


Which one is heavier 1kg iron or 1kg cotton in vacumm?

Both 1kg of iron and 1kg of cotton would have the same weight in a vacuum. Weight is determined by mass, which is the same for both objects in this scenario.


How much would a 1kg bag of sugar weigh moon?

Any mass of 1 kg would weigh roughly 5.76 ounces on the moon, regardless whether it's sugar, taffy, rye bread, stainless steel, rock, or Sweet 'n Low.
