What are the two masses and the one distance that determines your weight?
Your mass, the mass of the Earth, and the distance between you and the earth's center determine the gravitational force exerted on you by the Earth (i.e. your weight).
Does gravity cause weight?
No. Fat causes weight.. Gravity is simply used to measure it.answ2. Mass is a property of matter. Mass times acceleration equals weight.Gravity is indeed a property of matter, but doesn't really enter the simple picture of weight.
How are weight and mass similar?
Weight is how gravity is affecting the mass of an object. While mass stays the same no matter where it is, the weight of an object changes depending on how strong the gravity is where the object is. For example, you weigh less on the moon than you do on earth because earth is much bigger than the moon is, therefore the more gravity it has. :-D :O ;)
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
What is the difference between gravity and weight?
-- Weight is the force that attracts objects toward each other. When wetalk about 'weight', one of the objects is usually the Earth.-- 'Gravity' is the characteristic of all mass in the universe that causes the forces.Gravity is the force whereas weight is the measurement of how much the force gravity affects something.
The force of gravity on you from the earth?
The gravitational forces between me and the Earth can be called "my weight on Earth" or "Earth's weight on me". They're equal, and the label doesn't matter.
Does earths gravity give weight to matter?
Yes. Earth's*
What can you measure matter and mass with?
For "matter", it would depend what aspect of matter you want to measure.Mass is often measured via its weight; under normal Earth gravity, the weight is proportional to the mass.
Why does weight depend on earth's gravitational force?
The scientific definition of weight is that it is the the force of gravity acting on an object.
How would your mass and weight differ on the moon?
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
Would you have less matter on the earth or the moon?
You always have the same amount of matter, regardless of where you go.But, the weight of matter is less on the moon than it is on Earth.Just remember, weight and mass are two different things.
What are the two masses and the one distance that determines your weight?
Your mass, the mass of the Earth, and the distance between you and the earth's center determine the gravitational force exerted on you by the Earth (i.e. your weight).
How do mass and weight relate?
Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.
What is the reason mass and weight is the same everywhere on earth?
The question isn't quite right. Wherever you go on earth, there is mass. Weight changes, however. I think it helps to know the fundamentals to understand this. Mass causes gravity, and gravity causes weight. If you were at the center of the earth, the gravity from the mass would pull you equally in all directions, and you would be weightless. Weight is the measurable effect of mass.

What causes the attration between water molecules?
The force of gravity; not the attraction of the Earth for all matter on it, but the same force that attracts all matter to all other matter.
Does all matter have weight?
Yes, but it's important to understand the difference between weight and mass. Matter has mass without gravity. Gravity pulls objects with mass toward the center of the earth, giving them weight.
