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.
How do you change an object's mass on earth to its mass on the moon?
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.
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 can an objects weight vary with location but its mass cannot?
Mass is an inherent property of an object and it does not change. Most commonly, we weigh objects on the earth. An object's weight depends on the attraction by gravity to another object. The formula for weight on the earth is weight = (a constant) x (mass of object) x (mass of earth)/(d-squared) where d = distance between center of mass of object and center of mass of earth d-squared is the distance d, raised to the second power. A person weighs slightly less on the top of a mountain than they weigh at sea level. Because moon's mass is only about one-sixth the mass of the earth, the weight of a man on the moon is about 1/6 of his weight on the 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 the mass on the moon of a 2 kg object on earth?
The mass of the object remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, the weight of the object will be approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity.
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.
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?
Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No, the mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located in the universe. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity, will be less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull.
If an objects mass on earth is 4.2 what is its mass on the moon?
It's 4.2 . An object's mass doesn't change. The thing that does change is the gravitational forcethat attracts the object to another mass. The strength of that force depends on the mass of bothobjects. The force on the first object is what we call the object's "weight".
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?
The mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located, so the object would still have a mass of 120 g on the moon. However, its weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?
Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.
What happens to the weight of an object brought from earth to the moon?
When an object is brought from Earth to the Moon, its weight decreases significantly due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth's. While the mass of the object remains unchanged, the weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, leading to a lighter sensation on the Moon. For example, an object that weighs 60 pounds on Earth would weigh only about 10 pounds on the Moon.
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.
Does mass or weight change on moon?
<p> Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object. There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected. Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be: 98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N *The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>
