If a person goes to the moon, what will happen to his mass and weight? |
the mass will be more but it weighs lesser
the mass and weight both remain unchanged the mass is the same but the weight is lesser the mass is more but the weight is lesser |
the mass is the same but the weight is lesser |
The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Since the moon has significantly less mass than the Earth, it will not pull objects toward itself at the strength that Earth will. This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same! |
