Answer:
the mass would remain the same and the weight would change
Explanation:
Mass can be thought of as the amount of matter an object has, this quantity is a constant, it will not change even if the rocks are carried to the moon.
What will change is the weight, since it is defined as:
where is the weight,
is the mass and
is the acceleration due to gravity.
We said the mass stays the same, but the acceleration on the moon will be different (smaller) than the acceleration
on the earth.
So because the weight depends on the acceleration of gravity, if the rocks are taken to the moon where that acceleration is different, the rocks will have a different weight.
So the answer is: the mass would remain the same and the weight would change

The strength of the electric field is 5 N/C
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by:
where
is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the magnitude of the charge
r is the distance from the charge
In this problem, we have:
is the charge producing the field
r = 100 m is the distance from the charge at which we want to calculate the field
Substituting into the equation, we find the s trength of the electric field:
