Answer:

Explanation:

Weight is actually a force. A force can change depending on its location. A mass remains constant no matter where it is.

A)

F = m * a

m = 250 kg

a = 9.81 m/s^2

F = 250 * 9.81 = 2452.5 N

B)

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 what it is on earth. You can check its value in your notes.

a = 9.81 + (1/6) = 1.635

m = 250

F = 250 * 1.635

F = 408.75

C)

The mass is the same anywhere in the universe.
