Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

weight = mass * g <==g is less on the moon, so your weight is less on the moon

to calculate weight, you have to use the g of the planet you are on

The MASS does not change....it will be 6kg on the moon or earth

Weight of 30 kg on earth = 30 * g = 30 * 9.81 = 294 N
