Assessment: JAMB UTME - Physics - 2013 Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

When a brick is taken from the earth's surface to the moon, its mass

Answer Details
The mass of an object is a measure of its amount of matter, and it is independent of its location. So, when a brick is taken from the Earth's surface to the moon, its mass remains constant. It does not become zero, reduce, or increase. The weight of the brick, which is the force exerted on the brick due to gravity, would change because the gravitational field strength is different on the moon than it is on Earth. However, the mass of the brick remains the same.
