Your mass remains constant regardless of your location, whether on Earth or the Moon, because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight changes because weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass. The Moon's gravitational pull is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would weigh significantly less on the Moon, even though your mass stays the same. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only about 30 pounds on the Moon.
What else can I help you with?
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
What is your weight if you know your mass?
Mas is the amount of matter. Weight though related depends on the gravitation al field you are in. Mass will not change. Weight will. For instance if you travel to the moon you will weigh less but your mass will be the same.
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.
Does your mass change as you travel to the moon?
No. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.Your weight however, will change because of the lack of gravity.---The mass won't change as mass is what you are made up of the 'stuff' your are made up of.Only the gravity will change.
Would your weight and mass change on the moon?
So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.
Why does your mass change when you travel to the moon?
Actually, your mass doesn't change anywhere in the universe. What does change is your weight. Weight in physics is calculated by multiplying mass time force of gravity, and because gravity is different on the moon, on Earth, on Mars, and any other massive body in space, so is a person's weight.Hope that answered your question adequately :)
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!
Is your mass on the moon the same as your mas son earth?
yes, mass is the amount of space that something takes up, therefore it would not change it you were to travel to the moon. While weight changes due to gravity.
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.
When an astronaut lands on the moon what is his mass?
His mass does not change, only his relative weight.
How does the weight and mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.
Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?
Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.
