Question

A 60 kg block weighs 132 lb on Earth. If the block were transported to a planetary body that had a BIGGER free fall acceleration (as compared to Earth), which one of the following would be TRUE? The block would have a bigger mass & the same weight. The block would have a smaller mass & same weight. The block would have a smaller mass & a bigger weight. The block would have the same mass & a bigger weight.

Answer 1

the mass of an object is the amount of matter it contains. The mass remains same everywhere, it does not change.

weight is the force caused by the gravity. the weight of an object is the gravitational force between object and the earth, the more mass the object has, the greater its weight will be.

The mass of an object always remains the same wherever it is, but its weight can change.

This can happen if the object goes where the gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon.

if the object is transported to a planet with bigger free fall accleration, the weight of the object will increase.

because weight = mg, so if g (free fall accleration) is higher, weight will be more

so the correct answer is last part.
