Would your weight be the same on mercury?

no........ the weight is determined by the gravitational pull on any object gravitational pull of different planet is different. therefore, the weight changes


What is gravitational pull on an object?

The weight on an object is the gravitaional pull.


What is a gravitational pull also called?

gravitational force of attraction/gravity -- force -- weight -- centripetal force, under some circumstances


What does an object have to have for weight to act on it?

An object must have mass for there to be weight. There also must be another mass (such as Earth) that exerts a gravitational pull on the object for there to be weight.


How do you change weight on earth to weight in space?

To calculate weight in space, you would use the formula: Weight in space = Weight on Earth x (gravitational pull of space / gravitational pull of Earth). Since gravitational pull in space is typically much lower than on Earth (about 0.17 times that of Earth), your weight in space would be significantly less. Keep in mind this calculation assumes a constant gravitational pull throughout the region of space you are in.


Weight can be desribed as?

Weight is the force with which the earth's gravitational pull attracts us.


Why is your weight less on the moon?

Because the Earth's gravitational pull is stronger than the gravitational pull of the Moon. But your mass remains the same


If an apple has a mass of 1kg what is its weight?

well depends what planet you are on the basic formulae is as follows weight = mass X gravitational field (gravitational pull) on each planet so depending on what planet you wish to know ill put int the answer . Mercury gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Venus gravitational pull is 8.8 so its 8.8kg Earth gravitational pull is 9.8 so its 9.8kg Mars gravitational pull is 3.7 so its 3.7kg Jupiter gravitational pull is 23.2 so its 23.2kg Saturn gravitational pull is 9.0 so its 9kg Uranus gravitational pull is 8.7 so its 8.7kg Neptune gravitational pull is 11.1 so its 11.1kg Pluto gravitational pull is 0.6 600g


What is weight what is Mass?

Mass is the measure of the quantity of material contained within an object. Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object. Weight will vary depending on how strong the gravitational pull is while mass remains the same.


Pull of gravity on an object is called?

Gravitational force, or Weight


What is weight based on?

The amount of gravitational pull the earth has on an object.
