Question

An astronaut whose mass is 84 kg on earth will have a mass of approximately 14 kg on the moon.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

We know that Weight of an object on earth is 6 times weight of an object on moon.

Therefore, Weight on moon =$\frac{1}{6}th\times \text{Weight on earth}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Weight on moon}=\frac{1}{6}\times 84Kg$

$\Rightarrow \text{Weight on moon}=14Kg$

But, mass of an object remains the same .

Hence, the given statement is false.
