Chapter 1: Problem 101

Compared with its mass on Earth, the mass of the same object on the moon should be (a) less; (b) more; (c) the same; (d) nearly the same, but somewhat less.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of an object on the moon compared to its mass on Earth would be the same.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Concept of Mass

The first step is to understand that an object's mass is a measure of the amount of matter in it. This quantity is intrinsic to the object and does not change regardless of where the object is in the universe.
02

Understand the Effect of Location on Mass

The second step is to consider whether the location of an object would affect its mass. The answer is no, the location of an object has no impact on its mass, so if you moved it from the Earth to the moon, its mass would not change.
03

Evaluate Each Option

In the third step, each option is evaluated based on the understanding of mass and location. (a) Mass will be less; This is incorrect as the mass of an object will not change regardless of location. (b) Mass will be more; This is also incorrect for the same reasons given above. (c) Mass will be the same; This is the correct answer. (d) Mass will be nearly the same but somewhat less; This is also incorrect. The mass of an object does not change within the universe.
