∙ 13y agoThat is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
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.
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
The object's mass is the same wherever it is. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the object's weight.The weight depends on what other mass happens to be nearby.When you know the object's weight on earth, multiply that by 0.1633 to find its weight on the moon.If you don't need it that close, it might be easier to just divide the earth weight by 6.
The mass of the object remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth, so it would still be 20kg. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of the gravitational pull of the environment.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
The weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon would be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This is because the gravitational pull on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's gravity.
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
The weight of an object on the moon is about 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This is because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity. So, if an object weighs 60 pounds on Earth, it would weigh about 10 pounds on the moon.
The weight of a 40 kg object on the moon would be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This means the object would weigh around 6.67 kg on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth.
The equation to determine the weight of a body on the earth or moon is a modification of Newton's second law, W = mg, where W is weight in Newtons, m is mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s2.Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 9.8m/s2. A 20kg mass on the earth would weigh W = 20kg x 9.8m/s2 = 196N.Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 1.63m/s2. A 20kg mass on the moon would weigh W = 20kg x 1.63m/s2 = 32.6N.
The object remains under the jurisdiction of the country that launched the mission to transport it to the Moon. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 states that nations are responsible for the activities of their own citizens and entities in space.
The difference in weight of an object on Earth and on the Moon is due to gravity. Earth has a stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon, which makes objects weigh more on Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the larger mass of Earth compared to the Moon results in a stronger gravitational pull on Earth.
An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
The weight of a 10kg object on the moon would be approximately 1.6kg because gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth.
The weight of a 352 newton object on the moon would be 1/6th of its weight on Earth. So, on the moon, the weight of a 352 newton object would be about 58.67 newtons.
