If the mass of an object is 5 grams on mars and gravity of the earth is 9.8 what is the weight of the object if it is on earth?

If the mass is 5 grams on Mars.
Then the mass is also 5 grams on Earth (by definition).
Now, they've specified that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s/s, which is "normal".
So, the weight would also be 5 grams, or you can convert to whatever your favorite unit is, pounds, ounces, etc.

What is the weight in newtons of an object with the mass of 2000 grams?
An equivalent of 204 kilograms of resistance to the linear acceleration of gravity
What is difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object or substance. Weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object/substance. Mass will not change; the amount of matter will not fluctuate due to gravitational forces, so something that has a mass of 4 grams on earth will have a mass of 4 grams on the moon. But because the force of gravity is different, the weight of an object on the earth will weigh differently than the same object on the moon.
What is the weight of an object which has a mass of 0.05 grams?
You have to multiply that by the value for gravity. Near the surface of the Earth, this is about 9.8, in SI units. For using consistent units, you must first convert the mass to kilograms; the answer will be in newtons.
What is a measurement of an objects weight?
The formula: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravityOn Earth, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 9.8 N/kg.On the Moon, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 1.6 N/kg.On the Sun, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 274.1 N/kg.
If two objects have the same mass do they have the same weight?
No, mass is constant all over the earth and everywhere beyond that. Weight on the other hand is a function of mass which depends on the strength of the gravitational pull on the object. Since the gravitational pull from earth isn't constant, but is dependant on what position you are relative to its core, your weight can vary (though its unlikely to be a marked difference).

What is the weight of an object that has a mass of 33.75 grams?
The weight depends on the force of gravity at the point where the object is weighed.
300 grams how many pounds?
It depends where it is. Weight is equal to the mass of an object (in this case the 300g, or 0.3kg, item) multiplied by the force of gravity. As gravity is different at different places (for example Earth's gravity (around 9.8ms^-1) is deemed "1g", however the moon has a gravity of around "0.16g"), it means a mass will have different weights at different places. For the weight of the object given, if on the surface of Earth it would have a weight of approximately 9.8x0.3, or around 29.4N.

How heavy is 109 grams?
On Earth? Grams is a unit of mass, not weight. The weight varies based on gravity. On Earth, it is weighs about 0.24 pounds, almost a quarter of a pound.
If an object has a mass of 26 g on earth would its mass be less than 26 g on the moon?
If an object has a mass of 36g on earth it will also have a mass of 26g on the moon. This is because while weight varies depending on gravity, mass is a universal constant that reflects the number of molecules in an object.It's mass would be the same (amount of matter) But it's weight would be less on the moon, yes.
What would be the weight of 500grams on Jupiter?
Jupiter's surface gravity is about 2.5 times that on Earth. So a mass of 500 grams would have a weight of about 1250 grams weight.
Is mass the amount of gravity in your body?
mass is the amount of matter in an object and it is measured in grams. weight deals with gravitys exertion on an object.
What is the force of gravity on a 3500 g of an object?
You can convert that to kilograms (reminder: 1 kg = 1000 grams); then multiply by the value of the gravitational field, which near Earth's surface is about 9.8 newton/kilogram. This will give you the weight in newton.
Does an object has the same weight regardless of its location on earth?
A 120 gram object, on the Moon, would weigh about one sixth of its Earth weight of 120 "grams weight" or "grams force". Its weight would be about 19.87 grams force on the surface of the Moon. Be careful: grams force is different from grams. 120 gram-force units is about 0.2646 pounds (1.177 newtons), which is a force from gravity, not a mass. On the surface of the Earth, a 120 gram object weighs 120 gram-force units. ================================ Observe ... A perfect example of the problems we predicted if people didn't learn the difference between mass and weight. And there you go. Read it and weep. There is NO SUCH THING as a "gram force". It's an invention, wrapped in smoke, signifying nothing, and accomplishing nothing but advanced obfuscation. The "amount of matter" in an object is its mass. It's measured in grams or kilograms, and no matter where the object is or where it goes, its mass doesn't change. The gravitational force between that object and another one ... such as the Earth, or the moon, or another planet ... depends on the mass of both objects, and on the distance between them. The forces can be expressed in newtons, pounds, stones, or other things like that. But grams are NOT a force. If you try to use grams as a force, then as soon as you leave the Earth, you're stuck. If you go to other places, then your kilogram doesn't "weigh" a kilogram anymore, and you have to make up an ugly tool like a "gram-force" to get yourself out of the jam you're in. The answer to the question is: -- A 120-gram object weighs 1.18 newtons on Earth, and 0.195 newton on the Moon. -- In "customary" units, a 120-gram object weighs 4.23 ounces on Earth, and 0.7 ounce on the Moon. -- It has 120 grams of mass everywhere. But it doesn't "weigh" 120 grams anywhere, because "gram" is not a weight, or a force of any kind.
Are weight and mass are the same thing?
No. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. For example, a rock that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about 17 pounds on the moon due to the weaker gravity, but its mass would be the same.
