Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
How is weight related to gravitational force?
Weight = Mass * Acceleration of gravity. Weight = force of gravity on particular object. Weight = force of gravity on an object; Gravity = attracts all objects toward each other
How does location affect an objects mass and weight?
Weight is mass x gravity. If an object is placed in a location where there is more gravity, or less, its weight will change accordingly. Its mass will hardly change, except for very slight effects caused by the Special Theory of Relativity (an increase in potential energy implies an increase in mass), but this is only so for an outside observer, and the effect is so small that it can be ignored for most practical purposes.
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
Will your mass change from planet to planet?
No. Your mass will stay the same. Your weight, however, will change in direct proportion to each planet's gravity.
Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?
yes
Does an objects weight change in space?
Yes, because weight it determined by gravity. Its mass however, does not.
When the object's weight changes with gravity does the mass stays the same?
Of course the objects mass will not change. Since there is no gravity in space(moon), only the objects weight will change.No matter where the object the mass will stay the same!
Is weight measured of the gravitational force on an object?
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Is the weight of an object gravitational force of an object?
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Is The amount of an objects mass affected by gravity?
No. But the weight of that mass depends on the local gravity.
The pull of gravity on an objects mass is called what?
Its weight
What does mass mean in physic properties?
Mass is a property that gives objects the following:* It provides objects with weight. (Note: weight = mass x gravity) * It provides objects with inertia. The higher the mass of an object, the harder it is to change its velocity.
How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?
Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Does gravity give you mass?
No, it gives you weight. Mass does not change in the presence of gravity.
Does the weight of an object affect the motion'?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
