Question 2

Gravity on the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravity on the earth. What is the mass of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth?
 
  A) A 10 kg object weighs 10 kg on Earth and 10/6 = 1.67 kg on the moon.
  B) The mass of an object is indirectly proportional to the mass of the planet on which it is located. Therefore, a 10 kg object weighs 10/6 = 1.67 kg on Earth and 10 kg on the moon.
  C) The mass of a 10 kg object anywhere is 10 kg.
  D) The mass of a 10 kg object on Earth is 22 pounds, while on the moon it is 3.7 pounds.
  E) The 10 kg object weighs 60 kg on the moon.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
