Question
the gravitational field on the surface of the earth is stronger than that on the surface of the moon. if a rock is transported from the moon to the earth, which properties of the rock change? mass only weight only both mass and weight neither mass nor weight
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and does not change with location. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated as $W = mg$ (where $m$ is mass and $g$ is gravitational - acceleration). Since $g$ is different on the Earth and the Moon, weight changes while mass remains the same when the rock is transported.
