Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of the gravitational force acting on it. Therefore, the chunk of metal would have the same mass on the Moon as it has on Earth, even though its weight (the gravitational force it experiences) would be different due to the lower gravity on the Moon.
