Gravity Weight Mass

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

• increase because gravitational force increases.

• decrease because gravitational force increases.

• decrease because gravitational force decreases.

• nothing because weight is not affected by gravitational force.

Compare you weight and mass on Earth, if you were on the moon where gravity is 1.6 m/s/s:

• Your weight and mass would be less.

• Your weight would be less but your mass would remain the same.

• Your weight would remain the same, but your mass would be less.

• Your weight would increase, but your mass would stay the same.
