Question

A piece of steel is taken from the Earth to the Moon for an experiment. The gravitational field strength on the Moon is smaller than on the Earth.
Which statement about the piece of steel is correct?
it has less mass on the Moon than on the Earth
it has more mass on the Moon than on the Earth
it weighs less on the Moon than on the Earth
it weighs more on the Moon than on the Earth

Answer 1

Answer:

it has less mass on the Moon than on the Earth

Answer 2

Explanation:

ANSWER

Gravity on moon is 1/6

of that on the earth. So, if a body is taken to moon, the moon attracts the body with a force less as compared to the attraction force by the earth. Hence the weight decreases.

it has less mass on the Moon than on the Earth
