The mass will always stay the same but the gravitational pull towards the centre of the earth (weight) will change.

What units would you measure the weight of a pencil in?

The units grams would be a good choice.


Does a pencil weigh less than a kilogram?

Please note that a kilogram is a unit of mass - NOT a unit of weight. And yes, a pencil has a mass that is considerably less than a kilogram. For comparison, a kilogram is the mass of a liter of water.


How is mass and weight are different?

Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets


Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?

The weight will be different.


How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?

Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it

3 grams.


What is the difference between weight and density?

Density is mass/(volume) while weigh is mass/(gravity). Examlpe: A ton of iron and a ton of straw weigh the same (a ton) but take up different amounts of space due to different densities.


Why is your weight on earth different from out mass on the moon?

You can't compare WEIGHT with MASS - those two are used to measure quite different things. It doesn't make sense to say that they are the same, or that they are different. You can only compare mass with mass, or weight with weight.


Is The weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume.?

weight is different in different gavities but mass is not, volume is not involved


Why is weight different from mass?

Well mass is different from weight in one major way. Mass is how easily something can lift more than weight being how heavy an object is. For example a balloon has mass, but a person carries weight.


Is weight stronger mass?

Weight and mass are fundamentally different things, and they are measured in different units (newton, versus kilograms). Weight is caused by mass, but it also depends on gravity. The formula is: weight = gravity x mass Mass also causes inertia.
