Jackie, Bella, and Sam are discussing gravity. Bella says that they would weigh less on the moon than on the Earth because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Sam says that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Jackie says that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon. Who is correct? (1 point) Responses Sam and Bella are BOTH correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth AND their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam and Bella are BOTH correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth AND their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Bella is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth.

Question

Jackie, Bella, and Sam are discussing gravity. Bella says that they would weigh less on the moon than on the Earth because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Sam says that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Jackie says that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon. Who is correct? (1 point) Responses Sam and Bella are BOTH correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth AND their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam and Bella are BOTH correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth AND their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Sam is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Jackie is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity. Bella is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth.

Answer 1

Bella is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth.

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. The weight of an object refers to the force exerted on it by gravity, while the mass of an object refers to the amount of matter it contains.

On the moon, the force of gravity is indeed weaker compared to the Earth. Therefore, if you were to stand on the moon, you would weigh less than you do on Earth. However, your mass would remain the same.

Weight is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by the acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass of an object does not change, its weight will only vary based on the strength of the gravitational force.

In this case, Jackie is correct because she correctly understands that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon. Sam is partially correct in stating that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, Bella is incorrect in stating that they would weigh less on the moon due to the moon exerting less gravity.
