What is measured by the pull of gravity on an object?
Weight (on Earth) or Mass (everyplace else)
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it isn on earth but the objects weight different?
Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.
Why are people measured in weight not mass?
because people always are weight on earth. that's the reason is that a person to pay attention to crime.
Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
What do you understand by the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is the force with which gravity (usually, Earth's gravity) attracts it. Weight is measured in units of force; in SI units, this is the Newton.
The measurement of the pull of earth on your body?
This would be your weight. Weight = [mass] * [acceleration due to gravity] or F = mg. Gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s2. Mass is measured in kilograms.
What is Earth's weight in km?
Earth does not have weight in kilometers. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and is typically measured in Newtons or pounds. The mass of Earth is about 5.97 x 10^24 kilograms.
SI measure of force and weight?
Force is measured in Newtons. Weight is a force, therefore it is also measured in Newtons.Force is measured in Newtons. Weight is a force, therefore it is also measured in Newtons.Force is measured in Newtons. Weight is a force, therefore it is also measured in Newtons.Force is measured in Newtons. Weight is a force, therefore it is also measured in Newtons.
What is weight measured in Europe?
In Europe, weight is measured in Kilograms.
What is the definition of the word weight?
Weight is defined as the force with which the earth's gravity pulls.
On earth how does the weight in newtons compare with mass in kilograms?
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, measured in newtons. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms. The weight of an object on Earth is approximately equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).
Does the mass stay the same on the moon?
Mass stays the same on Earth, in space, or on the Moon. WEIGHT varies, because weight is the mass times the gravity. On Earth, we're often guilty of lazy speech and lazy thinking, and we sometimes use "mass" and "weight" interchangeably. This is convenient here on Earth, where the force of gravity is pretty much the same everywhere. (There are very minor differences due to changes in altitude or mass concentrations in the Earth, but the differences are unnoticeable without precise instruments.) So one kilogram is a measurement of MASS; 2.2 pounds is a measurement of WEIGHT. They are not the same. In the metric system, mass is measured in grams, while weight is measured in newtons. In the English system (used in the USA, but no longer in England) mass is measured in "slugs" while weight is measured in pounds.
