Changes with location in the universe

• mass

• weight

Measure of the amount of force

• mass

• weight

A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .

• Moon has more mass, and therefore more gravity
• Moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity
• Moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity
• Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity

Standard units are grams

• mass

• weight

Why would you weigh less on the moon compared to Earth?

• less air
• less sunlight
• more gravitational pull
• less gravitational pull

what would happen to the force of gravity on you if you decreased in mass?

• the force of gravity would increase
• the force of gravity would decrease
• the force of gravity would remain the same
• your mass does not influence gravity

If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass?

• increase because gravitational force increases
• decrease because gravitational force decreases
• decrease because gravitational force increases
• nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force
