Question

what will have a greater weight 5 kg on earth or 20 kg on the moon?​

Answer 1

The mass of 5 kg on the Earth has a greater weight than the mass of 20 kg on the moon.

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by

$W=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

On the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

So a mass of m = 5 kg on the Earth would weigh

$W=mg=(5)(9.8)=49 N$

On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is

$g=1.6 m/s^2$

So a mass of m = 20 kg on the Moon would weigh

$W=mg=(20)(1.6)=32 N$

So, the mass of 5 kg on the Earth has a greater weight than the mass of 20 kg on the moon.
