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 is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Why is the mass of an object same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
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.
How does the weight of an object on the earth's surface vary with its weight on the moon?
An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
What is the weight of a 40 kg object on the moon?
If an object on the moon weighs 42 lbs how much would the same object weigh on earth?
The weight of 42 pounds on earth would weigh 7 pounds on the moon.
What would an Object weighs 120 pounds on earth what its weight on the moon?
On the Moon, it would weigh 20.4 pounds.
A person who weighs 100 pounds on earth weighs 180 pounds on moon?
No. The weight of any object on the Moon would be about 1/6 the weight on Earth.
Who an object transported from Earth to the Moon has the?
An object transported from the Earth to the moon has a different weight and same mass.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.
