A 15kg boulder is moved from the Earth to the Moon. Explain what happens to the mass and weight of the boulder.

The mass of the boulder remains constant, while its weight decreases with respect to the value of gravitational force on the moon.

Explanation:

The mass of the boulder = 15 kg

On the earth, its mass remains 15 kg. But its weight is;

weight = m x g

           = 15 x 9.8

           = 147 N

The boulder's weight on the earth is 147 N.

When transferred to the moon, the mass remains constant i.e 15 kg. But its weight decreases due to a change in the value of acceleration due to gravity on the moon. Thus, the boulder becomes lighter in weight.

i wanna say it’s between b and d, leaning more towards b.

explanation:

no diagram was provided, but i'm guessing it's the one i've attached to my answer.

here, a mechanical force turns the rod.   this generates an electric current in the coil, which powers the bulb.
