An object is transported from the earth to the moon. which statement is true about the object?
a) the objects weight changes, but the mass stays the same
b)the objects mass changes, but its weight stays the same
c)the objects mass and weight stay the same
d)the objects mass and weight both change

"The objects weight changes, but the mass stays the same" is the one statement among the following choices given in the question that is true about the object. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "a". I hope the answer has come to your help.

The correct option is a.

Explanation: Mass is defined as the actual matter that exists in the body.

Weight is defined as the force acting on the body by the gravity. Mathematically,

W = mg

Where, m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Mass remains same at any point on the universe but weight changes as the acceleration due to gravity changes.

So, when an object is transported from the Earth to the Moon, the weight of the object will change but the mass of the object will remain same.

An object in the solar system that is a frozen mass of ice and dust is a comet
