180 grams of mass ... liquid, solid, gas, whatever ... weighs about 6.35 ounces
on Earth and about 1.05 ounces on the surface of the moon.
Any mass on the moon weighs 16.55% of its Earth weight.
No. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. For example, a rock that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about 17 pounds on the moon due to the weaker gravity, but its mass would be the same.
Matter has weight; weight is associated with matter. Matter can be visible; weight is a concept. Matter can change forms (water to ice to steam); weight has no transformation of such kind. A rock is a matter; the weight of a rock changes with altitude on earth and is lighter on Mars or the moon, while the mass of the rock does not change.
The weight of a rock remains the same after it hits the ground. Weight is determined by the mass of an object and the gravity acting on it, and these factors do not change when a rock hits the ground.
On the earth, a mass of 7 kg weighs 68.6 newtons (15.4 pounds). On the moon, the same 7 kg weighs 11.2 newtons (2.52 pounds). It all depends on the gravitational field you are in!
To find the weight of the rock, we can use the formula Weight = mass * gravity. The kinetic energy at impact can be converted to potential energy at height to find the mass of the rock. From there, we can calculate the weight using the formula Weight = mass * gravity.
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring. The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 16.3 kg. What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.
0.15 kg. Mass doesn't change, (unless the object is moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light).But weight does change, depending on what else is around.Your rock with 0.15 kg of mass weighs 1.47 newtons (5.3 ounces) on the surfaceof the earth, and 0.24 newton (0.57 ounce) on the surface of the moon.
The weight of the rock would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity, but the mass of the rock would remain the same.
The rock's mass remains the same, it will not change. However it's weight does change because the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 the acceleration on Earth. W = mg (weight )= (mass)*(gravitational acceleration) If a rock's mass is 10 kg then: On Earth g=9.81 m/s^2 On the Moon g= 1.63 m/s^2 W(earth) = m*g = (10kg)*(9.81m/s^2) = 98.1 kgm/s^2 = 98.1 N W(moon) = m*g = (10kg)*(1.63m/s^2) = 16.3 kgm/s^2 = 16.3 N
The mass of a rock remains the same regardless of whether it is on the Moon or Earth; mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However, its weight will differ due to the varying gravitational forces exerted by each celestial body. The Moon's gravitational pull is about one-sixth that of Earth's, so a rock will weigh significantly less on the Moon than it does on Earth.

a rock in earth
The mass of the rock stays the same, it's a constant.If you're asking what it's weight is; you just have to multiply it by the Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.81m/s2), which should come out as 11.8kg (correct to 3s.f)

The rock's weight or force in Newtons is 68.65
