Question

A person’s mass is measured on the moon and on the Earth. Which statement would be true?

• A. The person's mass on Earth would be double of that on the moon.
• B. The person's mass on the moon would be twice that on the Earth.
• C. The person would have mass on the Earth but no mass on the moon.
• D. The mass would be same on the moon and on the Earth.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

The mass would be same on the moon and on the Earth.

Mass is the measurement of the quantity of matter in an object. Since the person would contain the same amount of matter regardless of where he/she might be, the mass would be the same wherever it was measured.
