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.
The low density of the Moon means that it has less mass, and less gravity. If you ever get a chance to stand on the Moon, youâll see that its gravity is only 16.5% the gravity of Earth.In other words, if you weight 100 kg on Earth, you would only weigh 16.5 kg on the Moon.he low density of the Moon means that it has less mass, and less gravity.
