Mass is a characteristic of the person or object. It stays with him/it and
doesn't change no matter where he/it goes.
"Newtons" is not a measurement of mass. It's a measurement of force,
and it could represent the person's weight.
If the person weighs 490 newtons on Earth, then his mass is about 50 kilograms
anywhere, and he would weigh about 81 newtons on the moon.
On the moon, 10 kg of mass weighs 16.2 newtons (3.65 pounds). (rounded)
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!
The force due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth. Therefore, the weight of a 100 kg mass on the moon would be 100 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 / 6 ≈ 163.5 N.
If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg
The weight of an object with a mass of 3kg on Earth is approximately 29.4 Newtons (N). This is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object in kilograms by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
F = GMm/R² where * F is the force of attraction between two objects * G is the universal gravitational constant; G = 6.67*10-11 N-m²/kg². The units of G can be stated as Newton meter-squared per kilogram-squared or Newton square meter per square kilogram. * M and m are the masses of the two objects * R is the distance between the objects, as measured from their centers * GMm/R² is G times M times m divided by R-squared this is newtons gravity equation, it is not as accurate as einsteins but in this case it should do the trick. there is more on this website: http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/gravity_universal_equation.htm
Since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of the gravity on earth, a body that exerts the force of 100 newtons on the earth surface would exert 1/6 of that force when on the surface of the moon, or approximately 16.7 Newtons. You may ask "Why?". Look at the equation of Force: Force = mass x acceleration F=m.a The mass remains the same in both cases (moon surface or earth surface). The acceleration is the only parameter that changes. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 6 times the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon. Hope that helps.
The mass is 1 kilogram anywhere. The mass doesn't change.The weight of 1 kilogram is 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds) on earth,and 1.6 newtons (5.8 ounces) on the moon.
On earth, any mass of 85 kg weighs 833 newtons (187.4 pounds). On the moon, the same mass weighs 136 newtons (30.6 pounds)
On the moon, 10 kg of mass weighs 16.2 newtons (3.65 pounds). (rounded)
Yes, a person's mass remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, because the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person's weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth.

10 kg of mass weighs -- 22.05 pounds (98.1 newtons) on earth -- 3.6 pounds (16.2 newtons) on the moon -- 8.38 pounds (37.3 newtons) on Mercury
19.6 newtons when the experiment is performed on the earth. 3.2 newtons on the moon, 7.04 newtons on Mercury, zero while coasting in any space vehicle.
Your mass (kilograms) would stay the same as it never changes. But if you are talking about weight (newtons) it would depend on what you were comparing it to. If you have a weight of 300 newtons on earth then you would weigh 49.8 newtons on the moon therefore you would have lost weight. Whereas if you weighed 20.1 Newtons on Pluto you would weigh 49.8 newtons on the moon, loosing weight.
One Newton on Earth is about 0.1653 newtons on the moon.
The Gravity on the Moon is much weaker than the Gravity on Earth, the Moon's gravity is about 1/6 of the Gravity on Earth. So for example: An Object that weighs 690 N on Earth will weigh 115 N on the moon. In order to get your answer, just divide any number by 6 and you will get your answer. Answer: 360 N on Earth will result as 60 N on the moon.
