What compare the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water?
Specific gravity compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal amount of water! :D
Compare and contrast mass and weight?
mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the gravitational pull on an object mass x gravity = weight
Calculate your weight using the acceleration due to gravity g on earth Compare your weight on earth and your weight the moon?
Weight can be calculated using the formula W=mg, where m is mass and g is gravity. Your weight on Moon is 16.5% of what you experience on Earth.
Is mass directly propertional to weight?
Yes. Weight is equal to mass times gravity, so if you keep gravity constant (for example, measure different masses on planet Earth), weight is indeed proportional to mass. But if you compare measures with different gravity, you see that weight not only depends on the mass.
How do you compare an elephant's weight on the moon with its weight on earth?
The weight would be in the ratio of the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the two bodies - approximately 1/6.
How does the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on Jupiter compare to the force of gravity exerted by Jupiter on the Sun?
The gravitational forces between any two masses are equal on each mass.Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.
What is gravity's relationship to weight?
Gravity is the cause of weight. Increased gravity creates increased weight, decreased gravity decreases weight.
Could the mass of a lighter object be more than that of a heavier object?
No, unless you compare objects on different planets. Weight = mass x gravity, so if gravity remains constant, more mass means more weight.
How does mass volume density and weight compare?
Density = Mass/Volume is a measure of the amount of matter in a unit volume of a substance. Weight is the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
How are gravity and weight related?
weight is the effect caused by gravity. if gravity increases, so does your weight!
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
How does Jupiter's force of gravity compare to earth's?
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefore the weight of any object ... onJupiter's 'surface' is 25.885 m/s2 ... 2.64 times its value on Earth's surface.
