the weight of a body is the force exerted by gravity to the body and is proportional to the mass of the body. A force applied to a body will give him an acceleration. The relation between the force f applied to the body, its mass
m and the acceleration a is given by Newton's second law of motion ;
f = ma
The acceleration given by gravity to bodies at sea level is referred to as the
standard gravity acceleration and has the value of 9.81 m/s2 (rounded to 3 digits).
So, if you have a body with mass 0.5 kg, the weight of it at sea level would
be,
0.5 kg x 9.81 m/s2 = 4.9 newtons
When a body is subject to the standard gravity acceleration a mass of one
kilogram (mass kilogram) weights one kilogram (force kilogram).
In the International Units System, the unit for mass is the kilogram and the
unit of force is the newton. The force kilogram is avoided as to not produce
confusion.
What else can I help you with?
If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?
The weight of an object of mass 2m is 2mg. Weight is directly proportional to mass, so if you double the mass, you double the weight.
Is mass and weight a force?
Mass and weight are not forces.But weight or a pull of gravity of an object with mass has force
Does air have weight?
Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.
How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it
What do weight and mass measure?
weight and mass measures the volume
What are weight and mass measured in?
Weight in Newtons Mass in kilograms
Will your and mass or weight change When you travel to Neptune?
Your mass will not but your weight will.
What happens to weight as mass is increased?
As the mass increases, the weight also increases correspondingly as the weight is directly proportional to the mass
How mass and weight similar?
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter. Weight is the apparent weight of a mass under a particular acceleration.
What relationship exists between mass and weight?
Weight = mass x gravityWeight = mass x gravityWeight = mass x gravityWeight = mass x gravity
How can one determine mass from weight and what is the relationship between the two?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. To determine mass from weight, you can use the formula: mass weight / acceleration due to gravity. The relationship between mass and weight is that weight is directly proportional to mass, meaning that as the mass of an object increases, its weight also increases.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
