Is an objects mass its weight?
The weight of an object depends on two things:The objects massThe gravitational pull acting on the objectSo an object with a mass of 50 kg will weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravity is one sixth that of the Earth's.
Do objects with buoyancy have more or less mass?
Less mass than water. Therefore less than about 1.0 gram(s) per cubic centimeter.
Do small objects have more or less gravity than large objects?
The gravity depends on the mass.
What objects float in gasoline?
objectsfloats on water, oil and kero depending on the objects density or the objects weight.
Does changing the mass change the weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force between two objects (normally the Earth and whatever it is we're weighing). It is directly proportional to mass, so yes: two objects of different mass will have different weights when measured under the same conditions.(Scientists like mass rather than weight because mass doesn't change with location. A 1 kg mass on Earth will still be 1 kg on the Moon or Mars, though its weight there will be less.)
Why do you weigh on earth than on the earth?
There is less gravity on the moon to pull you towards its surface than here on earth. Your mass x gravity(acceleration) = your weight. There is less gravity because the moon has less mass than the earth. All objects with mass have some amount of gravity that pulls them toward other objects with mass. The more mass you have in one spot the greater the pull of gravity there.
Does the Moon's mass being less than the Earth's make objects weigh less on the Moon?
Yes, that is exactly what makes you weigh less on Earth then on the Moon, though your mass hasn't changed, your apparent weight does.

Is the weight-mass of a CD more or less than a kg?
The mass is less than 1 kg.

The gravity depends on the mass.
Why dont heavy objects fall faster than light ones?
-- Gravity pulls harder on objects with more mass than it does on objects with less mass. -- But objects with more mass need more force on them to accelerate as fast as objects with less mass. -- So it all balances out . . . no matter how much mass an object has, every object on Earth falls with the same acceleration.
Why do you weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than Earth so its gravitational pull is less. Your weight decreases, but you retain the same mass.
What is ture about mass and volume for all floating objects?
The mass is always less than the volume
Why do scientists rely on mass rather than weight?
Because an objects mass is the same anywhere in the universe.
