If the mass of an object on Earth is 18 grams, what would the mass of the same object be on the Moon?

• 18 g

• 4 g

• 0 g 

• 32 g 

What makes mass and weight different?

• Mass is the amount of matter meanwhile weight is expressed in kg, lbs. and g.

• Mass and weight are expressed in g, kg and lbs.

• Mass is the amount of matter meanwhile weight is the force of gravity on an object's mass.

• none of the choices

Mass and weight are different. Mass depends on _____. Weight depends on _____.

• gravitational force, the amount of matter

• placement, force

• force, placement

• the amount of matter, gravitational force

Which of the following never changes no matter where in the universe?

• weight

• force

• mass

• pounds

An average bowling ball has a mass of 7.26 kilograms. On Earth, it would weigh 16 pounds. On the moon, where the force of gravity is much weaker, the ball’s mass would still be 7.26 kilograms. However, because gravity isn’t pulling it down as strongly, it would weigh only 2.65 pounds. Which of the options listed below would be true if you stood on the moon?

• your mass would increase

• you would weigh more than you do on Earth

• you would weigh the same as you do on Earth

• Your same mass would stay the same
