Why should you always measure position at the bottom hook of the spring rather than at the centre of mass of the attached load?
Because - the bottom of the hook will always be at the same position for objects of the same mass. Different sized objects may have the same mass - BUT - could have different centres of gravity.
How is the mass of a pencil different from its weight?
The mass will always stay the same but the gravitational pull towards the centre of the earth (weight) will change.
Does everything have definite mass?
The right answer is yes. This is because your mass always stays the same, the only thing that does change is your weight. Dhaivat
Does water weight decrease after freezing?
No. As long as you don't take any of it away, the same quantity of mass is still there, and the same quantity of mass always has the same weight, regardless of what physical state it happens to be in. No, the weight of the water remains unchanged. Mass is conserved. It does, however, become less dense (takes up a little bit more volume).
Between mass and weight which is dependent on the other?
The weight is dependent on the mass. Mass is the same everywhere but since weight is mass * acceleration due to gravity, weight is the dependent variable.
Is mass the same where you go?
an objects mass is always the same but the weight can change because on different planets, the gravitational pull is different. so, yes
Does the mass of an object affect its weight after its shape has been altered?
The mass always affects the weight. But the same mass always hasthe same weight, regardless of its shape.-- Notice that there is no 'shape' term in the formula for weight:Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) -- A 50kg woman and a 50kg sack of potatoes have the same weight,even though one of the objects has a better shape.
Do objects of the same size always have the same mass?
not always it depends
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
When the object's weight changes with gravity does the mass stays the same?
Of course the objects mass will not change. Since there is no gravity in space(moon), only the objects weight will change.No matter where the object the mass will stay the same!
Do two objects that have the same mass and velocity always have the same momentum?
yes
How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?
Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.
Why do scientists rely on mass rather than weight?
Because an objects mass is the same anywhere in the universe.
Does the weight of an object affect the motion'?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Why should you always measure position at the bottom hook of the spring rather than at the centre of mass of the attachment?
Because - the bottom of the hook will always be at the same position for objects of the same mass. Different sized objects may have the same mass - BUT - could have different centres of gravity.
