The mass and weight of a box are 25 kg and 245 N, respectively, when on Earth. What is the mass and weight of the box when it is brought to the Moon?

Answer :

Answer:

25 (kg) and 40.5 (N).

Explanation:

1) the value of 'g' on the Earth is ~9.81 (N/kg), the value of 'g' on the Moon is ~1.62 (N/kg).

It means, the mass is not depended on the value of 'g', but the weight is depended on it.

2) the mass on the Moon is the same, 25 kg.

the weight is 25*1.62=40.5 N
