Would your weight change if you went on the moon?
Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.
How would your mass change if you went from the earth to the moon?
It wouldn't. Your weight would change, because it is equal to mass times acceleration, and the acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would weight about 1/6th as much on the moon as on the Earth. But mass is constant, regardless of where you are. Mass does increase with increased speed, however, according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
How would your mass and weight change if you went to Jupiter?
Your mass would not change... it's a constant. However, your weight would increase, because the force of gravity (directly related to the mass of the planet) would increase substantially. (Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the two objects in the field, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them). You can thank Newton for that equation.
Why are you lighter on the moon than on earth?
Gravity on the moon is 1/6 of the gravity on Earth. Weight is actually measuring the force of something (when you drop from a plane),and therefore relies on the gravity that makes you fall from the plane. When you use the term 'weight' you're referring to mass, which measures how much matter an object takes up. If you went to a different planet, your mass would stay the same, because you're still the same size, but you're weight would change because the gravity has changed.
How would your weight change if you went to the moon?
the force of gravity on the moon is much weaker than that of earth. that means that you are getting pulled down more on earth than you are on the moon resulting in a lighter weight. About 1/6 of your weight on earth. See many related answers, all of which say the same, but with various extra information.
Would your mass change if you went on a plane?
Your mass would not change if you went on a plane.
If you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?
yes it would change
Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
Your weight would change on the moon because gravity is weaker there compared to Earth, so you would feel lighter. However, your mass would remain the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, which does not change.
If i was 93 pounds and went to space how much would i weight?
While you're in the spaceship, your weight would change several times, depending on the acceleration of the ship at the moment. At the times when the rocket engines aren't firing and the ship is coasting, your weight is zero. When you arrived at the place where you're going, your weight would depend on what place that is. If you went to the moon, you'd weigh about 15.3 pounds there.
Would a person mass or weight change if that person left the earth and went to the moon?
your mass stays the same. yoir WIEGHT changes
How does mass effect an objects weight?
It doesn't really. mass is what is inside something. For example, if you went to the moon, you wouldn't lose anything therefore, your mass would not change. But if you went to the moon, your weight would go down. This is because there is a much smaller gravitational pull on the moon than the earth does. So, basically the weight of something is decided by how powerful the gravitational pull is on you.
Would your weight change if you went on the moon?

How much more or less will you weigh if you went to Mercury?
Being on Mercury will change your weight because you would be pulled down with a smaller force. You would weigh on Mercury 0.38 time your weight on Earth.
Would you lose weight if you went on a vegan diet?
Most likely
What is a black box on a plane used for?
to tell us what went wrong internally with the plane before it went down.
