What factors effect the weight of an object on earth?

Only the object's mass.


Does weight affect the ammount of kinetic energy in an moving object?

Not weight - mass. On Earth the two are proportional, but it is better not to confuse the two.


What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?

The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.


Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?

A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.


Will acceleration due to gravity affect the weight of an object?

Yes. The weight of an object on the earth in Newtons is its mass in kilograms times the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2. W = mg


Object on earth weigh 300newton what is its weight in pounds?

This object has a weight on Earth of 67.5 pounds.


How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?

On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.


The force of gravity on an object is also the objects?

The strength of the mutual forces of gravity that attract two objects toward each other is called the "weight" of each object in the presence of the other one. The strength of the mutual gravitational forces that attract you and the earth toward each other is called your weight on the earth. Nobody cares about the earth's weight on you, but it's exactly the same number.


Is an object's mass greater on Jupiter than on Earth?

Your mass never changes. Only your weight. Gravity does not affect mass.


Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?

The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.


What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?

The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.


What to factors determine how much potential energy an object has?

On earth, mass and height. PE = mgh Weight and height. (note that m*g, as above, equals weight). This therefore applies not just on Earth.
