Decentralization, on the other hand, refers to the extent to which authority has been passed down to the individual school. Site-based management is an example of decentralization in which individual schools can make their own decisions related to finances and curriculum.
Mass and weight example - the moon. In the below example, we've featured an astronaut on earth and on the moon. The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity - approximately one sixth. So, a 100 kg astronaut weighs 980N on Earth. On the Moon, the astronaut would weigh only 162.2N. However, the astronaut's mass is 100kg where-ever they are. Weight on Earth: 100kg x 9.8m/s2 = 980N. Weight on Moon: 100kg x 1.622 m/s2 = 162.2N.
Mass, density and gravity. The moon's mass is 7.35 x 10 22 kg, about 1.2 percent of Earth's mass. Put another way, Earth weighs 81 times more than the moon. The moon's density is 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter (3.34 g/cm 3). That is about 60 percent of Earth's density.The moon is the second densest moon in the solar system; Saturn's moon Io is denser, with 3.53 g/cm 3. The moon's gravitational force is only about 17 percent of Earth's gravity. A 100-pound (45 kg) person would weigh only 17 pounds (7.6 kg) on the moon.A person who can jump up 10 feet on Earth would be able to jump almost 60 feet on the moon.he moon's gravitational force is only about 17 percent of Earth's gravity. A 100-pound (45 kg) person would weigh only 17 pounds (7.6 kg) on the moon. A person who can jump up 10 feet on Earth would be able to jump almost 60 feet on the moon.
