Answer 1

Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity.

Answer 2

Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity.

Answer 3

Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is dependent on the force of gravity, but mass remains the same regardless of the gravitational force.

On the moon, the force of gravity is weaker than on Earth since the moon has less mass. Therefore, if Jackie were to go to the moon, she would weigh less there compared to Earth because the gravitational force exerted on her would be less. However, her mass would remain the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter she contains, which does not change with different gravitational forces.

Sam is incorrect in saying that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. While the mass would indeed remain the same, it is Jackie who is correct in stating that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon.
