Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object.
There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected.
Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N
As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be:
98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N
*The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>
What else can I help you with?
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!
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.
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
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.
A wrestler has a mass of 102 kg. On the Moon where g is 1.62 ms2. What is his mass?
His MASS is the same on earth and on the moon; it is 102 kg. His WEIGHT is different but mass is the same. On the moon he weighs 102 x 1.62 = 165 Newtons; on earth he weighs 102 x 9.81 = 1000 Newtons
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.
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.
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!
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.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
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.
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.
What is your weight and mass in moon if you weight 120kg in wart and 1200n?
If your mass is 120 kg, then you weigh about 1,177 N on Earth, and about 195 N on the moon. Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are.
Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?
Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.
Why would your mass be the same on Earth and the Moon?
Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. This isn't going to change. You're not going to suddenly become a giant on the moon or shrink to the size of a mosquito out in space. Your mass stays the same - what is different is how gravity affects that mass to create what we call your weight.
