The moon has approximately 1/6th the
gravitational pull that the earth has. If something
has a mass of 60kg on Earth, what is its mass on
the moon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

m = 60 [kg] (mass on the moon)

Explanation:

We must remember that the mass is conserved, that is, it remains the same regardless of where it is located.

The only variation is the weight, which is different from the mass. Weight is determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

Therefore the mass of 60 [kg] on Earth will be the same mass on the moon.
