analyze how your weight would change with time if you were on a space ship traveling away from earth toward the moon
Moon's Gravity is much less (about 83.3% less) so it would be : your weight × 83.3 ÷ 100
Answer:
Weight would decrease as one would travel from Earth towards moon. This is because weight is the product of mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g).
W = m g
The mass remains constant.. On the other hand as the distance from the Earth increases, the acceleration due to gravity decreases and becomes \(\frac{1}{6}^{th}\) on the surface of moon.
\(g'=g(1-\frac{2h}{R_e})\)
Hence, the weight decreases.
