Can you guys please help me I give thanks and this is worth 15 points


Question 1: At the surface of the Earth the strength of the Earth’s gravity is 2.2 lb per Kg of mass. Using that value, what is your mass in Kg? What is your weight in Newtons? You need to show your reasoning along with your answer.


Question 2: If you go to the moon (lucky you) explain whether your mass or weight or both will change.

Verified Answer :

Question 1.
1kg = 2.2lb = 9.80665002864 Newtons

To calculate your mass in KG, you must divide your weight in lbs by 2.2.
To calculate your mass in Newtons you would take your weight in Kg, and multiply by 9.80665002864.

Question 2.

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains.
Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity upon an object.

So mass does not change when an object's location changes, but weight can.

If you were lucky enough to go to the moon, where gravity is less than it is on Earth, then your mass would remain the same but your weight would be less.
