Gravity on the surface of the moon is only

as strong as gravity on the Earth.
What is the mass of a 30 kg object on the
Earth? The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s
m = 30kg.
Changes in gravity does not change the
mass of an object.
To find the mass of the object on Earth, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a). In this case, the force is gravity, and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given as 10 m/s².
So, we can use the formula F = m * a to find the force exerted on the object due to gravity on Earth.
F = m * a
F = 30 kg * 10 m/s²
F = 300 Newtons
Therefore, the force exerted on the 30 kg object on Earth is 300 Newtons.
Please note that the mass of the object remains the same, regardless of the gravitational force acting on it.
