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...)

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.


An object attached to a spring scale reads 10 N on the surface of Earth. If the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 16th that of Earth and what would its reading be on the surface of the Mo?

The weight of the object on Earth is 10 N, which is determined by the gravitational force acting on it. Since the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/16th that of Earth, we can calculate the weight on the Moon by dividing the Earth weight by 16. Thus, the reading on the spring scale on the Moon would be approximately 0.625 N (10 N / 16).


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 of an object remains constant regardless of location, so the mass on the moon remains 8 kg. The weight on the moon can be calculated using the formula: Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of Earth, the weight on the moon would be 1/6th of the weight on Earth, which is 10 N (60 N * 1/6).


How much will you weight on the moon if you weight 96 pounds on earth?

You would weigh about 16 pounds on the moon because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity.


Where would your weight be greater the moon or earth?

Well, honey, your weight would be greater on Earth than on the Moon. Earth's gravity is about six times stronger than the Moon's, so you'd feel a bit lighter up there in the lunar land. But don't get any ideas about going on a diet, gravity's got your back here on Earth.

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.


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)

What would a 16 kg objects weight on the moon be in N?

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth. Using the formula F = m * g, where F is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity, we can calculate the weight of a 16 kg object on the moon as: 16 kg * 1.6 m/s^2 ≈ 25.6 N.

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?

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.


What is the weight of a falling object that has a mass of 16 kg?

0 because while the mass remains at 16 Kg, as the object is falling its weight (caused by the pull of gravity on its mass) becomes 0 as its acceleration equals that of the acceleration due to gravity. (This is why things seem weightless when in orbit round the Earth - they are actually falling).
