No because weight is subject to gravity which means it subjective to how much gravity is acting upon the body like in outer space you are almost weightless because almost no gravity is acting upon you. Also, whoever said the thing about the hollow thing shut up your a idiot.

What 2 ways are weight and mass different?

Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Weight is actually a measure of the force of gravity on an object. An object normally has a constant mass, but weight varies with gravity. An object in space will have no weight, but still have the same mass.


Does an object on earth have the same mass as it does on earth?

Yes. The mass of an object is always the same, but the weight of an object depends on the force of gravity on it.


If an object has a mass of 70 kg and a weight of 686 N on Earth what would the object's mass and weight on Jupiter be?

Your mass is always the same.


What are the relations between mass and weight?

The relations between mass and weight are that mass shows how much an object contains. This is about the same thing as weight - how much an object contains.


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.


Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the object weight is different?

The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.


How is mass weight and force the same?

They're not. Weight and force are the same, but mass doesn't belong."Mass" is the stuff an object is made of, and never changes."Weight" is the force of gravity between the object and another mass.Weight depends on what the other mass is, and how far the object is from it.That's why the same mass has different weights on the earth and moon.


Are Weight and mass are different words for the same property of matter?

False


Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?

Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes


Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?

The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.


Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?

Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.


Are the same tools used to measure weight and mass?

mass is measured with a balance comparing an unknown mass with an object of known mass. weight is not measeured with the same tools as mass.
