why do you think your weight is different on each of the pla
because of gravity
do you think your mass changes from planet to planet?
if you have a camera (3 pounds), computer (24 pounds),
what would the weight be on the moon, mars, jupiter an
tems?

Explanation:

1. For the mass question: Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, measuring the amount of substance in an object. It does not depend on location or gravitational pull, so it stays constant across planets.
2. For the weight calculation question: Weight on a celestial body is calculated by multiplying the Earth weight by the body's gravitational factor (from the table: Moon=0.17, Mars=0.4, Jupiter=2.3).

Answer:

1. No, mass does not change from planet to planet. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object, representing the amount of matter it contains, and it is independent of location or gravitational forces.
2. Weight calculations (using the given gravitational factors):

• Camera (3 lbs on Earth):
• Moon: $3 \times 0.17 = 0.51$ pounds
• Mars: $3 \times 0.4 = 1.2$ pounds
• Jupiter: $3 \times 2.3 = 6.9$ pounds
• Computer (24 lbs on Earth):
• Moon: $24 \times 0.17 = 4.08$ pounds
• Mars: $24 \times 0.4 = 9.6$ pounds
• Jupiter: $24 \times 2.3 = 55.2$ pounds
