Question

suppose you took a trip to the moon .Write a paragraph describing how an why your weight would change.Would your mass change too ?

Answer 1

Mass : actual amount of material contained in a body. It is independant of where you are.

Weight: force that gravity puts on a mass.
On Earth, gravity is 9.80 m/s^2compared to 1.62 m/s^2 on the moon.

Weight=mass *gravity

Moon : (example)
10 kg* 1.62 m/s^2= 16.2 N ( Newton is the unit for weight)

Earth:
10*9.80= 98 N
