The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity - approximately one sixth. So, a 100 kg astronaut weighs 980N on Earth. On the Moon, the astronaut would weigh only 162.2N. However, the astronaut's mass is 100kg where-ever they are.

Answer: Gravity causes a change in the mass of objects on earth and the moon.

Explanation:

Because of gravity, the weight of objects lessen, and decrease because of gravity. If you were to drop an object from earth from space, the object would have more mass. Hope that helps.

A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a

vovikov84 [41]

This question involves the concept of kinetic energy.

The student's claim is "right".

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The energy possessed by a body, by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Mathematically it is given by the following formula:

$K.E =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

K.E = Kinetic energy
m = mass
v = velocity

Therefore,

For the paintball:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}(4\ g)(90\ m/s)^2$

K.E = 16200 J

For the pellet:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}(1\ g)(180\ m/s)^2$

K.E = 16200 J

Hence, both paintball and pellet will have same kinetic energy. The student is right.
