If a person's mass is 32 kg on mars what would their mass be on earth?

Answer 1

If your mass is 40kg on Earth, you would weighabout 392 Newtons depending on your location. This is because the Earth exerts 9.8 Newtons of gravitational force on a body per kilogram of that body's mass. In the US, you would say you weighed about 88 pounds.

On Mars, a 40 kg person would weigh about 148 Newtons, or about 33 pounds.

Because many countries now use SI units inappropriately, there is some confusion about the difference between mass and weight. If you are asking this question for a physics assignment, the answer is 40 kg, but that would be your mass, not your weight. If you are asking because you want to know what it would be like on Mars, you could say that you would feel like you were 15 kg on the equator of Mars...but actually you would feel heavier because you wouldn't have exercised your legs at all in about 6 months.

Answer 2

Trick question... mass doesn't change.

Weight does, however, weight being mass times gravity.

So assuming you meant this... and knowing mars surface gravity is: 0.376g

We do this: 32*(1/0.376)

85.11 Kg

Answer 3

80 kg. Mass is the same on all planets, but weight is different depending on the gravitational force. If you want to know the weight then ask for that.
