Question

The gravitational force on the surface of Mars is less than it is on Earth's surface. The weight of an astronaut's toolbelt on Mars is _______ its weight on Earth. The toolbelt's mass on Mars is _______ its mass on Earth

Answer 1

where is the rest of the info?

Answer 2

less than; equal to
less than; greater than
greater than; equal to
greater than; less than

Answer 3

Again, this is in the wrong section, I think. See your last question for what I wrote there. I'm not sure if you're aware, but this is the "Mathematics" section.

Answer 4

less than; equal to

Answer 5

woops. it is less than;less than

Answer 6

im sorry just ignore all my responses completely

Answer 7

okay. let me actually help this time. The answer is : less than; equal to. this is because:

Answer 8

weight is measured using gravitational pull. If gravity is less: weight is less. If gravity is higher: weight is higher. Mass is the measure of amount of matter and object has. Matter is the amount of space occupied by the object. The belt has the same matter, therefore the same mass on mars and earth.

Answer 9

Matter is not the space occupied by the object, @helpplease1 , matter is commonly considered as something that has mass and occupies space.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter#Definition .

Answer 10

i just woke up and tried to make a quick response. you are correct. lol thank you for clarifying. i don't want to confuse candy more than they must be

Answer 11

You want to be talking about mass. Mass is measured as a quantity in many ways, using many physical relationships. But, the mass of an object will be constant on both planets. If you consider special relativity, then the "rest mass" is the same on both planets, but that's probably not the issue here.

You're welcome @helpplease1 :)
