Is a mass or weight determined by gravity?

[ Mass ] is a property of the object, and doesn't depend on the presence or strength of gravity.[ Weight ] is the result of gravity, and changes depending on the local strength of gravity.


Is gravity determined by mass or size or both?

Since gravity is basically a force then, it is determined by both mass and size. Also weight.


How do you get the weight if the mass is given?

weight = mass * g , where g is the gravity constant = 9.8 .so weight can be determined.


What is determined by mass and gravity?

force, or as described on Earth, WEIGHT.


What determines the value of gravity mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Gravity is determined by the mass of two objects and the distance between them. Weight is the resulting force.


Does an objects weight change in space?

Yes, because weight it determined by gravity. Its mass however, does not.


Is it true that massis the amount of gravity in yourbody?

No. Mass is the amount of material in your body. Your weight is determined by gravity, and will increase as gravity increases, but the actual mass of your body is not affected by gravity.


Difference in mass and weight?

mass is the actual ''density'' of an object. whereas weight is determined by gravity and mass w=m*g hope this helps


Can the weight of an object be determined underground?

Not accurately. Weight is a function of gravity acting on mass. Objects underground have gravity pulling them up as well as down.


Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?

No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.


Does gravity depend on mass or weight?

well weight depends on mass and gravity so gravity depends on mass. e.g weight=mass X gravity


How much did all mass weigh at the big bang?

Weight is a function of gravity. Gravity is determined by proximity to mass. At the point of the big bang, all the mass of the universe (which is said to be infinite) was compressed to a single point. Therefore the pull of gravity, and thus the weight of that mass would also be infinite.
