A

105.0kg on Moona nd 70kg on Earth

B

140.0kg on Moon and 70kg on Earth

C

70.0kg on both Moon and Earth

D

35.0kg on Moon and 70kg on Earth

The correct Answer is:
To find the mass of a 70 kg man on the moon and on the earth, we need to understand the difference between mass and weight. **Step 1: Define mass and weight.** - Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of location. - Weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass and can change depending on the gravitational field strength. **Step 2: Identify the mass of the man.** - The mass of the man is given as 70 kg. This value does not change whether he is on the moon or on the earth. **Step 3: State the mass on both the moon and the earth.** - Since mass remains constant, the mass of the man on the moon is also 70 kg. **Step 4: Conclusion.** - Therefore, the mass of the 70 kg man is 70 kg on both the moon and the earth. **Final Answer:** - The mass of the man is 70 kg on the moon and 70 kg on the earth. ---
