Is an object's mass greater on Jupiter than on Earth?
Your mass never changes. Only your weight. Gravity does not affect mass.
Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
How does gravity on the moon affect the weight and mass of an object?
It doesn't, the gravity is low, so it just makes you jump higher, an object's mass is unchanged.
Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity changes?
Mass doesn't change. Mass the is substance of an object, moving it around won't affect how much mass it has, only adding or subtracting from the object would affect the quantity of mass. The weight would change because gravity is inversely proportional to distance but not the mass.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
What factors affect the weight of an object on Earth?
Only the object's mass.
Does an object always have weight no matter it's location?
No. Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on the object, while mass is the amount of matter. An object always has mass, but does not necessarily have a weight.
Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
How are weight and mass diffrent?
Weight is how great or small the affect of gravity is on an object, whereas mass is the amount of physical particles in an object.
The mass of an object is fixed but its weight varies from location to location?
Because, mass does not depend on gravity factor whereas weight depend on gravity factor. W=mg
How much is a 100 pound person on uranus?
The location of an object does not affect its mass.
Does gravity affect your weight and mass?
The force of gravity (or acceleration) affects weight but not mass. An object's mass does not change - it is the physical composition of the object. Weight increases as the force of gravity increases and decreases in the same way.
How does the mass of an object affect the weight of an object?
Weight is mass x gravity. If an object is placed in a location where there is more gravity, or less, its weight will change accordingly. Its mass will hardly change, except for very slight effects caused by the Special Theory of Relativity (an increase in potential energy implies an increase in mass), but this is only so for an outside observer, and the effect is so small that it can be ignored for most practical purposes.
What is the difference about weight and mass?
weight is the measurement of the strength earth's gravity pulling on an object. depending on location, it is possible for weight to vary from place to place. mass is the amount of matter constantly present in the an object.
Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
Is an object's mass greater on Jupiter than on Earth?
Your mass never changes. Only your weight. Gravity does not affect mass.
