six kilograms on Earth has what mass on the moon?
599497
Mass is constant, it does not change based on the gravitational acceleration around it.\n6 kilograms on the Earth would still be 6 kg on the moon.\n\n6 kg on the Earth would have a weight of about 60 Newtons (a little less), but on the moon, it would weight only about 10 Newtons (due to the 1/6 gravity).

The amount of matter in an object is called its mass. The force of gravity is dependent on the amount of mass a body has. That means that the gravity on the Earth is greater than the gravity on the Moon, since the Earth has much more matter or mass than the Moon.

jinde, hi!\n\nwhat an amazing question!  i remember reading about this somewhere, so it took me so long to research it...\n\nsee, when we talk about weight, it varies from spot to spot in the universe.  you may weigh 60kgs on Earth.  but on the moon, you'd be 10kgs.  on Jupiter, you'd be 600000kgs!!!\n\nwhat we need to discuss is the mass of the object, because that would be the only thing that makes sense on the Galactic scale.  are you ready for the answer?  it's gonna be mind-boggling!\n\nThe Earth's mass is approximately 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6E+24) kilograms!!\n\ni know what you're next question will be?\n\n"How did they measure that?"  i have the answer for you!\n\nthe measurement of the planet's weight is derived from the gravitational attraction that the Earth has for objects near it.\n\nit turns out that any two masses have a gravitational attraction for one another. if you put two iron weights near each other, they will attract one another gravitationally. the attraction is extremely slight, but if your instruments are sensitive enough you can measure the gravitational attraction that they have on one another. from that measurement, you could determine the mass of the two objects. the same is true for two marbles too! but the attraction is even slighter because the amount of gravitational force depends on mass of the objects...\n\nNewton showed that, for spherical objects, you can make the simplifying assumption that all of the object's mass is concentrated at the center of the sphere... and the following equation expresses the gravitational attraction that two spherical objects have on one another :\nF = G * M1 * M2 / R2\n\n    * R is the distance separating the two objects.\n    * G is a constant that is 6.67259x10-11m3/s2 kg.\n    * M1 and M2 are the two masses that are attracting each other.\n    * F is the force of attraction between them. \n\nassume that Earth is one of the masses (M1) and a 1-kg sphere is the other (M2).  the force between them is 9.8 kg*m/s2 -- we can calculate this force by dropping the 1-kg sphere and measuring the acceleration that the Earth's gravitational field applies to it (9.8 m/s2)...\n\nthe radius of the Earth is 6,400,000 meters (6,999,125 yards)... if you plug all of these values in and solve for M1, you find that the mass of the Earth is 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms (6E+24 kilograms / 1.3E+25 pounds)...\n\nhope this made sense... and if it did, i hope it was useful to you...\n\ndo write me if you need more clarification...\n\nenjoy!

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometers (2,160 miles).

To put it plainly and simply quoted:  \n\nF = Gm1m2/r2 = ma\n\nGm/r2 = g\n\nm = gr2/G\n\nm = (9.8 m/s2)(6.37 x 106 m)2/(6.673 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2) \n\nm = 5.96 x 1024 kg\n\nThe Earth gains mass each day, as a result of incoming debris from space. This occurs in the forms of "falling stars", or meteors, on a dark night. The actual amount of added material depends on each study, though it is estimated that 10 to the 8th power kilograms of in-falling matter accumulates every day. The seemingly large amount, however, is insignificant to the Earth's total mass. The Earth adds an estimated one quadrillionth of one percent to its weight each day.

Imagine yourself out is space away from any gravitational field, with a bowling ball in your hands. Let it go and it just floats in front of you. Without gravity, it has no weight. Now grab it again and shake it back and forth. That resistance to being moved is inertia, and mass measures how much inertia an object has. Inertia does NOT depend on gravity.\n\nMass is determined only by the amount of matter contained in an object.\n\nAny two masses exert a mutual attractive force on each other. The amount of that force is weight. A one kilogram mass on the Earth's surface results in 2.2 pounds of force between the mass and the Earth, so we say the mass weighs 2.2 pounds. That same one kilogram mass on the Moon, because of the Moon's lower mass, results in only about 1/3 pounds of mutual force.\n\nJust remember that the weight of an object depends on where it is, while its mass stays the same.

Solve for the mass of the planet.  You are given a diameter and are told that it is sphereical, so solve for the solume.\nV = 4/3 pi*r^3\n\nOe you know the volume, using its density, solve for the mass,\nD = m/ v\n\nFind the orbital distance of the moon from the planet's center of mass.\nThis distance, r, would be the moons distance above the planet's surface, plus the planets radius.\n\nFind the grvitational acceleration caused by the planets mass on the moon using Newtons law of gravitation,\ng = G*m/r^2,\nwhere m is the mass of the planet, r is the distance from the center of mass, and G is the Universal gravitational constant (6.67 E-11).  Solving this will give you g, the gravitational accelerating the moon experiences towards the planet.\n\nWe are told the orbit is perfectly circular, so we can solve for the orbital speed of the moon by setting the centripetal acceleration eqaul to the gravitational acceleration.\ng = v^2/r\nwhere v is the orbital speed and r is thr radius.

Be careful not to confuse the concept of weight with the concept of mass. The Earth's weight would depend on the acceleration due to gravity (Here on Earth we call it 'little g' and it's 9.8 m/s squared) on the enormous planet with a huge bathroom scale that you could set the whole planet Earth on. The Earth's mass doesn't change (except for increasing steadily due to cosmic dust accumulation) when you move it from gravitational field to gravitational field.  Likewise your weight changes when you walk on the moon, but your mass stays the same. It's the different acceleration due to gravity  (The moon's instead of the Earth's) that changes your weight.

Your weight is less on the moon.  This is because the force of attraction between you and the moon depends on your mass, the mass of the moon and how far you are apart.  While, on the moons surface, you are quite close to some bits of the moon, you are a long way from the bits on the other side and the average effect is as though all the moons mass was somewhere near the middle. There is a _lot_ more mass in the earth than the moon but when you are standing on the surface of the earth the center is further away and the attraction varies as 1/distance^2 so, despite the earth's mass being more than 80 times the moon's you weigh only about 6 times as much.

The mass of the planet Earth is 5.97 * 1024 kilograms (from Ask.com)\n\nMass From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nFor other uses, see Mass (disambiguation).\nMass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the amount of matter and energy it contains. Unlike weight, the mass of something stays the same regardless of location. In relativity, the quantity invariant mass, which is closest in content to the classical idea of mass, also does not vary between single observers in different reference frames. Mass is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects, and also several forms of mass appear in relativistic kinematics (see mass in special relativity).

The force would be 1/4 what it is now (since gravity follows an inverse-square of distance law). As it is, moon's gravity has next to no effect on our weight on earth, so weight change would be unnoticable. The main effect would be on the tides. Rather than being the primary determinant of tide height, as it is now, the moon would be a secondary influence and the sun would be the primary. This would reduce tidal heights by (very roughly) one half.
