Question

vinces mass on earth is 79 kg and his weight on earth is 174 pounds. if vince was to travel to the moon, how would his mass and weight change?
vinces mass would increase as well as his weight.
vinces mass would stay the same but his weight would increase
vinces mass would decrease as well as his weight
vinces mass would stay the same but his weight would decrease

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location. Weight, however, is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's (approximately 1/6 of Earth's gravity). So, Vince's mass (amount of matter) stays the same, but his weight (force due to gravity) decreases.

Answer:

1. Vince’s mass would stay the same but his weight would decrease.
