How much force is exerted by gravity on a 1 kg mass on the moon?
Wikiwikiwow1
Since the force of gravity is F = mg
F = Force (in N)
m = mass (in kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 1.622 m/s² (on the moon)
F = 1 x 9.8 = 1.622 N

An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity?
The object's force on the moon's surface is 294N
Is your weight your mass or force?
Your weight is a combination of your mass and the force of gravity. on the moon your weight is less because the force of gravity is less, however your mass remains constant no matter where it is measured.
An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity acting on theobject on the moon?
To find the force of gravity that is acting on the moon you have to take the mass of the object and multiply it by the moon's gravity. It would be 180 kg times 1.63 m/s squared. Which equals 293.4 Newtons.
Are weight and mass the same measurement?
No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.
Why can't a spring scale measure mass?
It's quite difficult to directly measure mass. It's relatively easy to measure force, which is what a spring scale does.(A balance scale measures force also, but it measures the force exerted by a known mass compared to the force exerted by an unknown mass. This corrects for local variations in gravity.)Answer:Spring scales can measure mass by comparing the weight of an unknown amount of material to that of a known mass of material. Hence if you weigh a liter of water (with a constant mass of one kilogram) the scale will show a weight which is dependant on the local attraction of gravity (say about 0.17 kg on the moon). Weighing the unknown will show a weight (again on the moon it would show 0.34 kg) which can be related to the weight of the liter of water and used to determine the mass. In this case, as the weight is double that of the water, the mass would be double that of the water.
Why do the astronauts feel smaller gravity forces on the moon than on earth?
The actual force of Gravity caused by an object is defined mostly by its mass-density.The moon possesses a mass many times less than the mass of earth.The gravital force exerted by the moon is about 1/6th that of the earth's.
How is earth affected by the force of gravity exerted by other objects?
The earth's mass and it's gravitational pull are stronger than the moon so that causes to pull the object down to the earth's center, therefore the gravity exerted by other objects are from the earth's mass.
Does the earths gravity pull the moon more than the moon pulls the earth?
Yes.. Always gravity exerted by an object that has larger mass is more.
What if your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth why so?
Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. Your mass is the same on earth and the moon or anywhere else. Your weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass and hence on your location.
Why do people way less on the moon?
Gravity is the sole thing that makes us weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. Because weight is the measure of gravitational force exerted on something, it lessens on the Moon because the Moon has less gravity exerted on someone or something compared to Earth. But a smaller weight on the Moon does not mean a smaller mass. This is so because mass is the amount of matter someone or something has, and it never changes no matter where the person or thing is.

Is your weight your mass or force?
Your weight is a combination of your mass and the force of gravity. on the moon your weight is less because the force of gravity is less, however your mass remains constant no matter where it is measured.
What is the force of gravity on an object's mass?
None, an objects mass (how much stuff there is as measured in kg and g or lb and oz if your old fashioned) is constant, no matter where it is in the universe.Gravity affects weight. The amount of gravity changes how much force (weight) is exerted on an object of a specific mass.E.g., on Earth, a 1kg object has a weight force of 10N towards the centre of the planet.On the Moon, the same 1kg object only has a 1.6N force exerted on it towards the centre, because the Moon has a weaker gravitational field than Earth.
What would 1 kg weight on the moon?
Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon. But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same. You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc. So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.

What force pulls the moon and earth toward each other?
gravity
Does earth the moon and sun have gravity?
Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.
