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.
Once we have the object's mass, we can find the weight by multiplying it by the gravitational force, which it is subject to. Being that the moon has a gravitational force of 1.622m/s 2, we multiply the object's mass by this quanitity to calculate an object's weight on the moon. So an object or person on the moon would weigh 16.5% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on the moon. Conversely, a person is 83.5% heavier on earth than on the moon.
