You can't say that one is more or less, since they are completely different things.
In the MKS system (meters-killograms-seconds system), near the Earth's surface, the weight is about 10 times the mass. So if the mass were 10 Kg, the force (weight) would be somewhat less than 100 N (closer to 98 N).
What else can I help you with?
Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring?
Because is mass is more accurate than weight.
Do scientists use mass more or less then weight?
Scientists use both; but normally mass is used somewhat more than weight.
Is the weight-mass of a CD more or less than a kg?
The mass is less than 1 kg.
Why do objects with more mass weigh more than objects with less mass?
Objects with more mass weigh more because weight is directly proportional to mass. The gravitational force acting on an object is stronger when the object has more mass, resulting in a greater weight measurement.
Does weight have an impact on force?
Yes, weight, or more precisely mass*, does have an impact on force. The impact is something like this: an object moving at a constant speed will have more force than an object traveling at the same speed with less mass.So, more mass equals proportionately more force.*Mass is a direct measurement of the amount of stuff in an object. Weight is the measurement of the apparent force of gravity on an object.
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.
Would a star have more mass or weight?
Mass and weight are the same thing. *Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.
Is the atomic mass different than atomic weight?
Not to a chemist, when they are both expressed in grams! For a physicist, "mass" is the preferred term because it is an inherent property of the material, whereas the weight will vary if an atom is in a different gravitational field than that of the Earth. In physics, "weight" is not expressed in simple "grams" but rather in "grams force".
Could the mass of a lighter object be more than that of a heavier object?
No, unless you compare objects on different planets. Weight = mass x gravity, so if gravity remains constant, more mass means more weight.
What is the weight of planet mar?
We should make the distinction between weight and mass. Mars is weightless. It has a considerable mass, though. See link for more information.IT weighs more than you
Is copper has more volume than the iron?
No, copper does not have more volume than iron for the same weight or mass. Copper is denser than iron, so a given mass of copper will have a smaller volume than the same mass of iron.
Why would an object transported from earth to the moon have the same mass but different weight?
Gravity is different on the earth than it is on the moon. An object will weigh more on Earth since there is more gravitational pull on the object. However, mass isn't dependent on gravity, and in physics, the formula for Weight is W = ma. This means weight is dependent on the acceleration that an object has in a downward direction, and in this case, we would be focusing on gravitational acceleration that is applied to the object.
