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

How would the weight of the body vary as it is taken from the earth to the moon?

1/6 that of the earth


Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?

Weight would change when an object is taken from Earth to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two celestial bodies. It would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.

What planet would make you more than double your weight?

If you are on Jupiter, you will weigh more than double. (Weight on Earth taken as reference)


What would be the effect on the mass of the weight of an object if the object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?

the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to at planet with twice the gravity of earth?

Nothing would happen to mass, but as weight is technically a force due to gravity, based on mass, the weight would be doubled, but again mass would remain the same.


What would the weight be if I was on Pluto?

Your weight would be about 6% of what it is on Earth.


What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?

His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.


How would you convert your weight on earth to your weight on Saturn?

To convert your weight from Earth to Saturn, you would first calculate your weight on Earth using the equation Weight = Mass x Gravity, then divide that weight by Saturn's gravity (which is about 1.08 times that of Earth). This would give you an estimation of how much you would weigh on Saturn.


What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?

The mass of the object would remain the same, as it represents the amount of matter within the object. However, the weight of the object would double on the planet with twice the gravity of Earth because weight depends on the gravitational pull experienced by the object.


What is the weight of the body at the center of the earth?

In theory, at the center of the Earth you would have no weight.
