• 9.8 N/kg

• 10 N/kg

If an astronaut with a total mass (body + suit + equipment) of 360 kg stands on the Moon, what is their weight on the Moon?

• 600 N

• 3600 N

• 60 N

• 360 N

Why is the pair "Volume and pressure" incorrect in differentiating the concepts of mass and weight?

• Because volume is associated with the portion of space occupied and pressure is a ratio between applied force and area of application.

• Because volume is a measure of mass and pressure is a measure of weight.

• Because volume and pressure are both related to the density of a body.

• Because volume and pressure are both scalar quantities.
