Re: how smart are you -- physics

9/10. Odd set of questions, really.

i.e. if your mass is 100 Kg, you will weigh 1000N on earth but only about 166N on the moon.
It's even better than that, if you want to lose weight, climb a mountain. Even without the exercise, gravity is measurably less up there.

Of course, what unscientific people mean by 'weight' is actually mass. Don't get me onto stress and strain...
