Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stays the same, but weight will change. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and depends on the local gravitational field. On the Moon, the gravitational pull is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so an object's weight will be less on the Moon than on Earth, but its mass remains constant regardless of location.
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) Responses Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stay the same but weight will change. Bailee is incorrect. The mass of the objects stay the same but weight will change. Bailee is incorrect.
