Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
How are objects around you affected by mass of earth?
The objects around you and me are affected by the mass of earth by gravity
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
Which type of measurement is affected by gravity?
The measurement of weight is affected by gravity.
What types of erosion are affected by gravity?
Wind and water erosion are affected by gravity.
Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?
No. Weight is affected by gravity.
Is length affected by gravity?
No, only weight is affected by gravity: attraction, force, acceleration.
How are weight and mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Mass isn't affected by gravity, but weight directly depends on it.
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
Is there an object affected by only gravity?
Yes, there is an object affected by only gravity. Stars and other floating space debris are only affected by gravity in space, as long as the objects do not touch each other.
How is gravity affected by the mass of an object?
Though weight is effected by gravity, mass is not affected by gravity.Actually mass is affected by gravity. Although the amount of mass is not affected by gravity, mass itself is.
How is a soap bubble affected by gravity?
Soap bubbles are affected by gravity by: Gravity pulls the soap bubble down into forming a cone shaped bubble at the end.
What is one thing that affects the gravity?
Gravity is affected and effected by mass.
