Ages

Introduction

Summary

We highlight here the distinction between weight and mass on the moon. We also show the proportionality between them.

Goals

• To make the distinction between the weight (Intensity of the force in N) and the mass of a body (Fundamental property in Kg).
• To simulate the influence of the gravitational constant on the weight.
