Answer:
Mass does not change
Weight redueces on the moon
Explanation:
The mass of an object never changes with respect to the astronomical body it is on. The mass of an object is the resistance it provides to a force which is applied.
A 1 kg object is an 1 kg object anywhere in the universe.
Weight is the affect of an astronomical object's gravity on it
[tex]W=mg[/tex]
where,
m = Mass of the object
g = Acceleration due to gravity
[tex]g_e[/tex]=Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²
[tex]g_m[/tex]=Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = 1.62 m/s²
Weight on Earth
[tex]W_e=mg_e\\\Rightarrow W_e=9.81m[/tex]
Weight on Moon
[tex]W_m=mg_m\\\Rightarrow W_m=1.62m[/tex]
Dividing the equations we get
[tex]W_m=\frac{1.62}{9.81}W_e\\\Rightarrow W_m=0.165W_e[/tex]
The weight of the astronaut on the moon will be 0.165 times the weight on Earth.
So, the weight of the astronaut will be reduced on the moon
