An object weighs 30n on earth. the second object weighs 30n on the moon. which object has a greater mass?
Prabhu R.
An object has a weight of 50 N on the earth. A second object has a weight of 50 N on the earth's moon. Which of the objects has the largest mass? 1. The question doesn't make sense because there is no gravity on the moon to provide weight. 2. It is impossible to say from the information given. 3. The one on the earth. 4. The one on the moon. 5. None of these. They both have the same mass because weight (W) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (g), where g is constant. So W = mg, and mass is directly proportional to weight.
