    Answer:An object with mass in a gravitational field experiences a force called weight. This weight on the moon is about 1/6 but the mass of that object remains the same due to the moon's gravitational field which is less than the earth.

    Explanation:There are factors that affect the gravitational potential and kinetic energy. They are:

    1. The height of the object in the moon

    2. The mass of the object

    3. The strength of the gravitational field

    4. The change in position of the object.
