When a stone is brought from the surface of the moon to the earth, then :
- AIts mass will change
- BIts weight will change, but mass will not change
- CBoth weight and mass will change
- DNeither mass nor weight will change
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Its weight will change, but mass will not change
Explanation
Mass, the amount of matter in a body, is the same everywhere. Weight is the force of gravity on it (W = mg).
Gravity on Earth is about 6 times that on the Moon, so the stone's weight increases but its mass does not change.
