If a student's mass is 40kg on earth, then his mass is 40kg wherever in the universe he goes.

Mass doesn't change. What changes is the gravitational force between each mass and the

other masses in the vicinity of the first one. That force is what we call "weight".

A man who weighs 12 kg on moon will weigh on earth?

The kilogram is a measure of mass, not a measure of force. His mass will remain the same (i.e. 60kg) regardless of the gravitational field he is in. But as the moon has a weaker gravitational field than the Earth the bathroom scales that stopped at 60 on the Earth will stop at 10 on the Moon.


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!


What is the mass in kilograms of a 588 in a bulldog?

Since mass = weight/gravity Mass = 588 Gravity = 9.8m/s^2 588/9.8 = 60kg 60kg


Would a mass of a solid of g have same weight on earth?

Yes, the mass of a solid in grams would be the same on Earth, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, the weight of the object would be different on Earth compared to other celestial bodies, as weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


What skateboarder with the mass of 60kg moves with a force of 20N what is her acceleration?

Her acceleration is 0.33 meters per second squared.

What will be the mass of a person on the moon having a mass of 60kg on the earth?

The mass of a person remains the same regardless of location, so a person with a mass of 60kg on Earth will also have a mass of 60kg on the Moon. However, their weight would be different due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull.


You weigh 60kg on earth How much would you weigh in a 2g environment?

your weight would be 120 kg but your mass would be 60 kg


What is the mass in kilograms of a 588 N?

Since mass = weight/gravity Mass = 588 Gravity = 9.8m/s^2 588/9.8 = 60kg 60kg

If a person has a mass of 71kg on earth what would be their mass on the moon be?

11.83 that is the 1/6 of his mass in earth


What fraction of Mar's mass is equal to Earth's mass?

Mars would have to find more mass if it wanted to equal the Earth's. It has only 11% of Earth's mass.


How many Plutos will make the mass of Earth?

Pluto's volume is about 0.6% that of Earth. :)


How much does a woman that weighs 60kg weigh in outer space?

If a woman's mass is 60 kg, then she weighs about 588 newtons (132.3 pounds) on the Earth, 97 newtons (21.9 pounds) on the moon, and zero while her ship is coasting or orbiting in space. Her mass of 60 kg never changes, no matter where she is, but that mass has different weights in different places.

If mass is 30kg what does it mass on earth?

If an object has a mass of 30 kg, its mass on Earth would also be 30 kg. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains the same regardless of the gravitational force acting on it.


What would be the same on earth as the mooon weight or mass?

Mass


If your mass is 68 kg on earth your mass on mars would be?

Your mass would stay the same. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, so your mass would stay at 68kg.
