Question

for a science project, kelly created an advertisement (right) to promote travel to mars. would her statement be correct? select the option that best explains why or why not. no. weight is the measurement of the amount of ma object. since you would lose mass traveling to mars, you would be less. yes. weight is the measurement of gravity on matter. since there is less gravity on mars, your weight would be less. yes. weight is the measurement of the amount of matter in an object. since you would lose matter traveling to mars, your weight would be less. no. weight and mass are interchangeable, and therefore you would lose both weight and mass by traveling to mars.

Explanation:

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated as $W = mg$ (where $m$ is mass and $g$ is gravitational acceleration). Mass is the amount of matter in an object and remains constant. Mars has a lower gravitational - acceleration than Earth. So, weight on Mars would be less due to lower $g$, not because of losing mass.

Answer:

Yes. Weight is the measurement of gravity on matter. Since there is less gravity on Mars, your weight would be less.
