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 density of Io is 3.53 g/cm 3. Astronomers believe that the Moon formed when a Mars-sized object crashed into the Earth. The resulting debris from the collision collected into orbit around the Earth and became the Moon.
