Weight changes depending on the gravitational pull exerted on an object, i.e. if it is on the Earth or if it is on the moon. Mass, however, remains constant.

Does mass or weight change?

Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.


When does the weight of a body change?

The weight of a body changes when there is a change in the gravitational pull acting on it. This can happen if the body moves to a different location where the gravitational force is different, like going from Earth to the Moon. The weight can also change if the mass of the body changes, as weight is a result of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


Will the weight of an object change if it changes it state?

No. The mass of an object doesn't change (Law of Conservation of Mass), therefore its weight won't change either (weight = mass x gravity).


What is the conversion of mass to weight?

To get the weight, multiply the mass by the acceleration of gravity wherever the mass happens to be at the moment. Dependoing on local acceleration of gravity, the weight changes from place to place.


What are science facts about weight?

you can measure weight by a scale. weight could change from place to place like if you go to the moon you will weigh less because there is less gravitational pull on you. it basically depends on mass and mass is the amount of matter an object is made of. mass does not change so on the moon your mass does not change it's your weight that changes


Is the weight of an object gravitational force of an object?

Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.


Is weight measured of the gravitational force on an object?

Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.


Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?

* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.


Does the mass of an object change as the distance of gravity changes?

No, the mass of an object remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change with gravitational influence. The weight of an object, however, can change with variations in gravity, as weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the object.


Is it possible for an objects weight to change while its mass remains constant explain?

Yes, an object's weight can change even if its mass remains constant. This happens if it moves to a place with different gravity. An object on the Moon would weigh only one sixth of what it did on Earth.


What is the same mass and weight?

The mass of an object doesn't change, no matter where the object goes. The object's weight changes, depending on what other masses are nearby.
