How does weight have to do with mass?
Weight is the magnitude of the force caused by the interaction between an object's mass and the net gravitational field the object is resting in.
The weight of an object is the force of?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity.
The downward force exerted by an object?
The downward force exerted on an object is caused by gravity (from the Earth). This force is called weight and can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (about 9.8).
When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the weight of the object itself or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.
What is the force on an object by a fluid when the fluid is not moving?
If the object is floating on the surface of the fluid, like a boat, then the fluid is exerting the normal force on the object. The normal force is a force that is equal and opposite to the force of gravity acting on an object. If the object is under the water then the weight of the water above the object is pushing down on it.
Measure of force of gravity acting in an object?
weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.
With buoyancy force as reference when does an object float and sink?
An object floats when the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight. An object sinks when the buoyant force is less than the object's weight.
What does weight measure?
Weight is the measurement of gravitational force on an object, relevant to Earth.
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.
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
