Question

The mass of an object on the earth is 20 kg.If so its mass on the moon is:

• A. 20 x 1.6 N
• B. 20Kg
• C. 20 x 1.6 Kg
• D. 20 /1.6 Kg

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 20Kg

• Mass is the fundamental measure of the amount of matter contained in an object, and it remains constant everywhere in the universe, regardless of gravity.

• While an object's weight (gravitational force acting on it) changes depending on where it is (on Earth vs. the Moon), its mass does not change. Therefore, if an object has a mass of 20 kg on Earth, its mass on the Moon is still 20 kg.
