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 weight of an object is given as the formula W=mg where W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration (or the gravity of planet). On earth, g is ge â¦ neralized as 10 N kg-1(about 9.8 N kg-1 to be more exact).On the moon, it is about 10/6 N kg-1. So, the weight of a 10kg mass on earth would be 100 N (N is Newton, the SI unit for weight) while the mass would be 16.7 N on the moon.n earth, g is ge â¦ neralized as 10 N kg-1(about 9.8 N kg-1 to be more exact). On the moon, it is about 10/6 N kg-1. So, the weight of a 10kg mass on earth would be 100 N (N is Newton, the SI unit for weight) while the mass would be 16.7 N on the moon.
