Define mass and weight of object and also write their si units if an object has mass of 20kg on earth what will be its mass and weight on the surface of the moon
Answers
Answer:
An object that has 20 kilograms of mass on earth also has 20 kilograms of mass while on the moon, even though it would only weigh 1/6 as much. It weighs 1/6 as much on the moon because the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
Mass
Mass is a property of a physical body as well as a measure of its resistance power to acceleration when a net force is applied. It also determines the strength of the gravitational attraction towards to other bodies. The SI unit of mass is kilogram.
Weight
Weight is the gravitational force between the earth and the object. An object will have more weight if it has more mass. Weight and mass are directly related to each other.
The SI unit of weight is Newton.
On the moon the mass is less so weight is also less but still they are directly proportional to each other.
