What else can I help you with?
What would fall faster on the moon a object with more mass or an object with less mass?
In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, as demonstrated by Galileo's experiment on Earth. Therefore, on the moon, an object with more mass would not fall faster than an object with less mass.
Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
An elephant weighs more on Earth than on the moon because Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so the stronger the gravity, the greater the weight of the object.
Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
How does the mass of an object affect its gravity?
The mass of an object directly affects its gravity. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. This means objects with larger mass will attract other objects with more force than objects with less mass.
Between mass and weight the more fundamental quantity is?
Mass. Weight is different depending on gravity, but mass is always the same. On the Moon an astronaut weighs less, but has the same mass that they have on Earth.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No, the mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located in the universe. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity, will be less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull.
Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?
The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
What would fall faster on the moon a object with more mass or an object with less mass?
In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, as demonstrated by Galileo's experiment on Earth. Therefore, on the moon, an object with more mass would not fall faster than an object with less mass.
What is weight of moon?
For astronomical objects, it is more appropriate to talk about the mass of an object, not about its weight. The Moon has a mass of 7.35 x 1022 kilogram, that is about 1.2% of Earth's mass.
Will you have more mass on earth or on the moon?
Your mass is the same wherever you go.You weigh more on the Earth, because your weight depends on your own massand on the mass that's attracting you to it, and Earth's mass is about 80 timesmore than the moon's mass.
Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
An elephant weighs more on Earth than on the moon because Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so the stronger the gravity, the greater the weight of the object.
Would you have more mass on the moon than earth?
No, your mass would remain the same on the Moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of gravity. However, your weight would be different on the Moon due to the lower gravitational pull compared to Earth.
Does the earths gravity pull the moon more than the moon pulls the earth?
Yes.. Always gravity exerted by an object that has larger mass is more.
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?
mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.
