Bailee explained that when traveling to the moon, he needs to pack light because the weight of objects on the moon is the same as their weight on Earth. The mass of the objects is what changes when the gravitational pull changes. Is Bailee correct in his explanation? (1 point)

Question

• Bailee is incorrect. Both the mass and weight will change.
Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stay the same but weight will change.
Bailee is correct. The weight of the objects stay the same but mass will
• change.
• Bailee is incorrect. Both the mass and weight will stay the same.

Answer 1

Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stays the same but weight will change.

On the Moon, the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so while the mass of the objects remains constant, their weight (which is the force of gravity acting on the mass) will be less on the Moon than on Earth.
