If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?

The mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located, so the object would still have a mass of 120 g on the moon. However, its weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


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!


Does mass or weight change on moon?

<p> Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object. There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected. Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be: 98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N *The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>


Are weight and mass the same measurement?

No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.


Is your mass on the Moon smaller than your mass on the Earth?

Your mass will be the same on the Moon and on the Earth. However, your weight (the force with which gravity pulls on you) would be different because gravity is weaker on the Moon compared to the Earth.

How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?

The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.


Why is your weight different on the moon?

Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.


Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?

Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.


Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.


Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?

Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.


Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?

Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.


How do mass and weight relate?

Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.


Is the mass greater in a person with more weight?

Yes. Weight and mass are very similar. The difference? Mass is the amount of matter an object has, while weight is the effect of gravity on mass. This is why your weight would be different on the moon, because the gravity is different. Mass would remain the same on the moon as it is on the Earth.


What is the mass of a 20g weight on Jupiter and the moon?

The weight of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its mass would be different due to the different gravitational forces on Jupiter and the Moon. On Jupiter, the mass would be about 7.49 times greater than on Earth, and on the Moon, it would be about 1/6th of the mass on Earth.


Which measurement your weight or mass would be the same when taken on Earth and on the Moon?

Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.


Why the weight of an object is different on earth and on the moon even though the objects mass is the same in both places.?

Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it does not vary. Weight however is variable, it is a measure of the pull of gravity on a mass. As the Moon's gravity is less than that of the Earth, a mass will weigh less on the Moon than it does on the Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the mass of the moon is different from the earth's. Also their radii is different. (Note : weight = gravity x mass and gravity = m1 x m2/(r x r)
