Would your weight change if you went on the moon?
Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.
How would your mass change if you went from the earth to the moon?
It wouldn't. Your weight would change, because it is equal to mass times acceleration, and the acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would weight about 1/6th as much on the moon as on the Earth. But mass is constant, regardless of where you are. Mass does increase with increased speed, however, according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
Would your weight change on mt Everest?
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Why is the weight of a buggy less on Mars than on Earth?
The gravity on Mars is less than on Earth, so although the mass of the buggy is the same on Earth and Mars, its weight is different because weight is equal to mass multiplied by the gravitational force. The gravity of Mars is 38 percent less than that of the Earth's. So, something that weighs 100 pound on Earth will weigh 38 pounds on Mars.
What is a mass of 1.5 kg is equal to?
A weight of 1.5kg at the earth's surface.
What does 1 newton equal to the weight of an object that has?
one newton is equal to the weight of an object that has a mass of 100 g on Earth
Are weight and mass the same measurement?
No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.
An astrounaut has a mass of 200kg.what is the weight on earth and on the moon?
If you weighed 200kg on Earth you would weigh 33.2kg on the Moon. Your mass would stay the same.on earth the mass is equal to the weight.on the moon the weight will be inferior to the mass due to the smaller mass of the moon inducing less gravitational pull
When is your weight is equal to mg?
My mass is 83.91 kilograms, or 83,910,000 milligrams. My weight on earth is 822.32 newtons, or 186 pounds.
What is the formula of the formula mass?
Mass = weight /gravity Density = Mass / Volume So, if you know the density and the volume, you can calculate the mass. Also, you can measure the mass by measuring the weight. On earth, mass and weight are equal.
Is weight and mass proportional but not equal?
true or false. weight and mass are proportional but not equal
What is 1 n of force equal to?
On Earth, a mass of 102 grams has a weight of 1 newton.
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
What fraction of Mar's mass is equal to Earth's mass?
Mars would have to find more mass if it wanted to equal the Earth's. It has only 11% of Earth's mass.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
Is mass and weight equal in all places on earth?
Mass and weight, though closely related, are not the same thing. There are tiny, but detectable, fluctuations in the gravitational field of the earth. So an object of a given mass would not weigh the same if it was weighed at different places.
