Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel are discussing gravity. Luisa says that they would weigh less on the moon than on the Earth because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Mirabel says that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Isabela says that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon.

Question

Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel are discussing gravity. Luisa says that they would weigh less on the moon than on the Earth because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth. Mirabel says that their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Isabela says that her weight and mass would stay the same if she went to the moon.
Who is correct?
• a.
•c.
• d.
Isabela is correct because weight and mass do not change based on the force of gravity.
Luisa is correct because the moon exerts less gravity than the Earth.
Mirabel and Luisa 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.
Mirabel is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Mirabel is correct because their mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The force of gravity may be different on the moon compared to Earth, but mass remains constant regardless of location.
