For a piece of stone which is brought from the moon to the Earth, which is true for its properties

Options

A. Volume, density and weight of the stone will remain the same as it were on the moon
B. Volume and weight of the stone will remain the same as it were on the moon
C. Density and weight of the stone will remain the same as it were on the moon
D. Volume and density of stone will remain the same as it were on the moon

Answer

To solve the question regarding the properties of a piece of stone brought from the moon to the Earth, we need to analyze the properties of the stone in both environments. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

### Step 1: Understanding the Properties
- The stone has certain intrinsic properties: volume, density, and weight.
- Volume is the amount of space the stone occupies.
- Density is the mass of the stone divided by its volume.
- Weight is the force exerted on the stone due to gravity.

### Step 2: Analyzing Volume and Density
- The volume of the stone does not change regardless of its location (moon or Earth). It is a physical property of the stone itself.
- Density is also a property that depends on the mass and volume. Since both mass and volume remain constant, the density will also remain the same when the stone is moved from the moon to the Earth.

### Step 3: Analyzing Weight
- Weight is dependent on gravitational force. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth.
- Therefore, when the stone is on the moon, it weighs less than it does on Earth. When brought to Earth, the weight of the stone will increase due to the stronger gravitational pull.

### Step 4: Conclusion
- The volume and density of the stone will remain the same when it is brought from the moon to the Earth.
- The weight of the stone will change due to the difference in gravitational pull between the moon and Earth.

### Final Answer
The correct statement regarding the properties of the stone is:
- The volume and density of the stone will remain the same as they were on the moon, but its weight will increase on Earth.
