where will the mass of an object be lesser, on the moon or on the earth? Explain
Answers
The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass, but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Mass is measured on a balance which compares the amount of matter in one object with the amount of matter in a second object. ... But if you measure your weight on the Earth and on the moon, your weight will be far less on the moon because of a weaker gravitational force,” Baldridge said.
No matter if you are on Earth, the moon or just chilling in space, your mass does not change. But your weight depends on the gravity force; you would weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in space you would weigh almost nothing at all. Where ever you are, your mass will always stay the same.
Answer:
on moon as it has less gravity than on earth
