Calculating weight and mass

An astronaut with all of the necessary gear has a weight of 2,250 N on Earth (acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s/s). If the acceleration due to gravity is 1.63 m/s/s on the Moon, what would the astronaut weigh on the surface of the Moon?

• 375 N

• 519 N

• 950 N

• 2150 N

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• mass is how much matter is in an object, and weight is the gravitational pull on that object
• mass and weight are the same
• weight affects how much mass is in an object
• weight is determined by how many atoms make up an object

How much would a 10kg box weigh on the surface of Mars?

weight = mass x gravity

• 37.7 N

• 98.1 N

• 35.9 N

• 88.7 N
