Is it possible that a body may have non zero mass but zero weight?
If no large body was influencing your environment, you would be floating (space is as close as we've gotten to such a phenomenon).
What happens to the mass of a body when it is at the center of the earth?
Assuming that you could get the mass there and intact, the mass of the body would not change. Its weight, however would be zero. Depending on the matter used, the volume might be considerably reduced due to pressure.
Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
What would your mass be in space if you weighed 48kg?
Your mass in space would be the same as your mass on Earth, but your weight in space would be zero.
Can a person's weight change and their mass remain the same?
weight is mass times acceleration. If the acceleration is zero, e.g. weightless in space, then the mass you have is still the same, but since there is no acceleration, there is no weight. Experiment. If you attach a small mass to a spring balance, then while you are lifting it, the weight will increase.
Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?
No. The weight is the mass times the acceleration. W=ma. The weight can be zero if the acceleration is zero, even if the mass is positive. Mass and weight are not the same thing.
Why does fat add weight to your bodies?
Fat has mass, so it adds weight to your body. (If you were weighed in zero gravity, it would weigh nothing, but it still has mass.)
What is the average weight of a shed?
The shed is of zero mass and zero weight
What will happen to mass and weight of a body on earth if suddenly gravitational attraction of the earth disappeared?
Your mass would be unaffected, it is simply to do with the atoms in your body. Your weight would be reduced to zero as that is simply how much your body is affected by gravity.
Is it possible that a body may have non zero mass but zero weight?
If no large body was influencing your environment, you would be floating (space is as close as we've gotten to such a phenomenon).
What would be the weight in kilograms of a 50 kg body?
The weight of a body depends upon the force of gravity acting upon that body. A 50 kg body will have a weight that is 50 times that of a 1 kg mass. The weight of the body will be different on earth, on the moon and in deep space (zero).
Does Mass and weight are related to one another through the effect gravity has on an object ture or false?
True. A body of mass M will have zero weight in outer space.
What the difference between mass and weight and how they pertain to gravity?
Mass is the quantitiy of matter. But weight is the force of pull on the mass due to gravity. So mass is invariant where as weight depends on the gravity. If acceleration due to gravity is zero, then weight too becomes zero. So in free space mass exists but weight vanishes.
What happens to the mass of a body when it is at the center of the earth?
Assuming that you could get the mass there and intact, the mass of the body would not change. Its weight, however would be zero. Depending on the matter used, the volume might be considerably reduced due to pressure.
Which is more common a mass of zero or a weight of zero?
Depend on what exactly do you mean by 'common'. On one hand there are countless photon everywhere which has zero mass. But if you mean everyday objects, then zero weight of cause (free fall, space etc), as I don't think zero mass is even attainable at this scale.
Can an object have zero weight?
Yes, weight depends on the gravity of the planet. The weight of an object is different on a planet with a different gravity. An object has zero weight in outer space. No! An object does not have zero weight in outer space. Why? Because gravity exists in outer space.
Why your weigt increases on other planet?
Your mass stays the same but your weight is different because it is the force that the planet's mass attracts your mass with. So if you are on a small planet your weight is less. A body with 100 pounds mass has a weight of 100 pounds on the Earth but only 17 pounds on the Moon, and zero pounds in space.
