The expression like a ton of bricks means a crushing weight would being hit by an actual ton of bricks hurt if it happened on the moon A No it would not hurt because the bricks would have little mass B No it would not her because the bricks would have more weight C Yes it would hurt because the bricks would still have the same mass D Yes it would hurt because the bricks would still have more weight

Answer 1

The correct answer is C: Yes it would hurt because the bricks would still have the same mass.

Explanation: While the bricks would have less weight on the Moon due to the lower gravitational pull (about 1/6th of Earth's), their mass remains the same. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change regardless of location. If a ton of bricks were to hit you on the Moon, their mass would still be significant, and it would indeed hurt, despite having less weight.
