ReplyDeleteI think that it is c.Because his weight is 6th on the earth than the moon.cause gravity is pulling downon him

ReplyDeleteJim's weight on Earth is 137.5 pouds
codym. the answer is A because you weigh more on the moon then earth because they is no gravity on the moon so you will weigh more on the moon because there is no gravity on the moon

ReplyDeleteD because it is the most reasonable weight.I think that because usually a man weighs about 175 pounds.I know that because i saw that online and my dad said that at his old job most of his male co-workers weigh 170-200 pounds.

ReplyDeleteI think it is A.because in space you are way liter and you can float when you jump and gravity pulls you down in space it just lets you go.

ReplyDeleteWhat I think Jim will weigh on Earth. I think on Earth Jim will weigh letter D 165 lbf.i think that because i went to the web sites and it told me what to do to figure out his weight and that's what i came up with.

ReplyDeleteI think the anwser is D. because, it is 27.5 times 6. Plus, 165 is an average weight.
Douglas S.
ReplyDeleteit is D because with out gravity we can't walk we just jump all the time. Also when we are in space we fill light. Plus on Earth you don't fill light because on Earth you way 165 lbf.

ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C. The reason why I think it is C is
because it said that the gravity of the earth was 6 times more
greater than on the moon.

ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C. I think this because http://www.mathisfun/measure/weigh-mass.html helped me understand that there isn't really much gravity on the moon.There is however more gravity on earth so that is why I decided to pick answer C.

ReplyDeleteJim lbs is 120 on the earth.His lbs on the moon is 20 lbs.His lbs in space by its self is 0 pounds.

ReplyDeleteThe answer is D 165lbf.The reason because 27.5lbf times 6 is 165lbf so that is the reason.
Nick V.
ReplyDeleteI think it is D because you multiply 27.5x6 it would be 165 lbf. And you weigh more on earth then on the moon.
Jacob T.
ReplyDeleteD
The reason why that your weight is changes because that the gravity has less down word pull. The gravity is less because the size of the moon is smaller. That is why the answer is D.

ReplyDeleteI think that Jim would weigh A 137.5 pounds on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull is less than the Earth's. You will weigh more on Earth than you will on the moon.
