The relationship is: weight = mass x gravity. For example, near its surface, Earth has a gravitational field of 9.8 meter/second2, equivalent to 9.8 newton/kilogram; therefore, a mass of - say - 10 kilograms will have a weight of 98 newton.

If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?

The weight of an object of mass 2m is 2mg. Weight is directly proportional to mass, so if you double the mass, you double the weight.


what is relationship between weight and mass?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the gravitational force applied to an object. Mass is a function of weight since weight it determined by the amount of force placed on an object of a certain mass.


How does weight have to do with mass?

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on that mass due to gravity. The weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass, so a heavier object will have a greater weight compared to a lighter object of the same mass.


What is the difrference between weight and mass?

Weight is how heavy and object is and Mass is the size of the object!


Does mass equal half the weight of an object?

No. Mass and weight are two separate but related properties. Mass is the amount of matter within object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. So and object's mass depends on the mass of the object and the strength of gravity where it is. Weight= mass x gravity.


The pull of gravity on an object's mass is called its what?

The pull of gravity on an object's mass is called its weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass.


What is the amount of mass is in an object is it it's weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity on an object.


Can it be said that mass or weight is a measure of laziness of an object?

No, mass or weight are not measures of laziness of an object. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Laziness is a human characteristic and is not related to an object's physical properties.


Why might scientists measure the mass of an object rather than the weight of an object.?

The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.


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.


Can an object have mass without having weight?

Yes. An isolated mass (one without any other masses near it, where "near" is defined generously) has no discernible weight, and an object in freefall has mass but no weight.Yes. An object in free fall, for example, has mass but no weight.


Is the amount of matter in an object weight?

No, weight is how much gravity is pulling down on an object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
