Answer:

mass = 5 [kg]

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between weight and mass should be clarified, the weight is equal to the product of the mass by the gravity of the place. While the mass will always be conserved regardless of the place, it will never change.

weight = mass * gravity of the place

}Therefore the mass is the same in the earth as in the moon
