What if your weight on the moon would be what fraction of your weight on the earth?
one forth by jaden
What would be the weight of a 10 kg object on the Moon and on Earth?
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
Does a 20kg object have the same weight on earth as it does the moon?
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
What is weight equal to 2240lb?
A pound (lb) is a measure of mass which is not the same as weight. An oject with a mass of 2240 pounds on earth would have a mass of 2240 pounds on the moon. But the weight of the object would be only one sixth on the moon. A mass of 2240 lb is equivalent to an Imperial ton.
What would a persons weight be on the moon if they weigh 150 pounds on earth?
25 pounds on the Moon.
Why does a persons weight decrease on the Moon?
Because the Moon has less gravity than the Earth. Weight is a vector of mass and gravity. W=mg
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Would you have the same weight on earth as on the moon?
no. Your weight would be 1/6 what it is on earth because the moon has 1/6 the gravity
What age and weight would you be if you were on the moon?

How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
How would a rocks weight on the moon or the sun compare to its weight on earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
If The force of gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth that of the earth The direct variation formula for weight on the earth compared to weight on the moon would be?
The force of gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth that of the earth. The direct variation formula for weight on the earth compared to weight on the moon would be weight on earth divided by 6 is equals to weight on the moon.
If you weighed 36 pounds on the moon how much would you weigh on the earth?
Your weight on the Moon would only be 33 pounds. Why is your weight on the Moon so much less than your weight on the Earth? It's because of the lower gravity on the Moon. Objects on the surface of the Moon experience only 16.5% of the gravity they would experience 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.
