If you look up "Moon" on the Wikipedia, you find that it has a surface acceleration of 1.622 m/s2. This is the same as 1.622 newton/kilogram.
Your weight on the moon is about 16.55% of your weight on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you'll weigh 33.1 pounds on the moon. Plus, of course, your space suit and all the rest of the gear you have to wear in order to survive on the moon.
On the moon, 10 kg of mass weighs 16.2 newtons (3.65 pounds). (rounded)
The gravitational force is INVERSELY proportional to the SQUARE of the distance; that means that if you change the distance by a factor of "n", the force will change by a factor of "n squared". In this case, 4 x 4 = 16; the force will INCREASE by a factor of 16.
The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity. Therefore, the ratio of kinetic energies of the two objects would be (32/8)^2 = 16.
A sixteenth is a fraction of a whole, meaning it is a 16th part of something. The weight of a sixteenth would depend on the total weight or quantity being divided into 16 equal parts. For example, if you have 1 pound and divide it into 16 parts, each sixteenth would weigh approximately 0.0625 pounds.
Everything has gravity. Your weight on the moon is about 16 percent of what it is on Earth.
You would weigh about 16 pounds on the moon because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity.
No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.
yes it would change
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
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.
It's simple, just multiply your weight by .16! (It would be more efficient to use a calculator!)
(Yes. The mass on the moon is 1/81 than it is on Earth.) No I'm sorry but this is incorrect. Mass is a measure of the number of particles you have, i.e how big you are Weight decreases on the moon, as it is a force caused by gravity.
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).
Your weight on the moon is about 16.55% of your weight on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you'll weigh 33.1 pounds on the moon. Plus, of course, your space suit and all the rest of the gear you have to wear in order to survive 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.
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
