Question

The gravitational strength at the poles is greater than the gravitational strength at the equator. What will happen to an object when it moves from the poles to the equator?

A.Its mass will increase.
B. Its mass will decrease.
C. Its weight will increase.
D.Its weight will decrease

Answer 1

We must always take note that mass is an inherent property of an object. It never change unless there is change in size of the object. While weight is the product of mass and gravity, so it changes depending on the gravitational pull.

If the gravitational pull decreases as he moves from the poles to the equator, therefore its weight will decrease.

Answer:

D.Its weight will decrease
