Answer:
your friend has won a prize of a greater value.
to understand this, we must note that:
- mass is the measure of the matter that makes up a thing.
- Your mass times the acceleration due to gravity is what determines your weight.
- Weight (W) = Mass (M) multiplied by gravitational acceleration (g).
- Newton is the typical unit of weight measurement.
- Unlike mass, which varies depending on where you are in the universe, weight is a type of measurement that depends on gravity.
- Any given object's weight can change depending on how much gravity is pulling on it. More gravity is produced by heavier objects. Less gravity means the object will be lighter.
- The gravitational pull of the Moon is around one-sixth of that of the Earth.
so,
your friend won 1 newton of gold in a contest. this will be roughly
1x6 = 6N gold [in earth weight].
you entered Earth's version of the same contest and won 1N of gold while she won roughly 6N of gold.
therefore, your friend has won a prize of a greater value.
