Which measurement changes when an object is taken from the earth to the moon?
weight
How would the weight of an object chnage if it is initially weighed in delhi and then taken to the pole?
delhi is near the equator. the earth is thicker at the equator, object is further away from earth than if it at pole. heavier at the pole.
What if a solid object was taken from earth what things would change about it?
density
How does the weight of an object change when it is taken to the moon?
I would weigh 30lbs 5.9oz.Well your weight on earth is given by the equation weight = mass x gravity. The different gravity constant on the moon is what changes your weight, but your mass remains the same. The weight formula on the moon would be the same only with the different gravity constant. So putting these equations together we get:weight on moon = mass x gravity constant of moonweight on moon = (weight on earth/gravity constant of earth) x gravity constant of moonThen we plug in the gravity constants and get the final conversion equation:weight on moon = (weight on earth/ 9.8) x 1.6Note: The constants are given with the units m/s2 but because they cancel each other out, you can enter your weight with any units and solve for your weight on the moon in the same units.Hope this helps!Well actually you have no weight on the Moon you just are weightless because there is no gravity...About 1/6 of your weight on the Earth. The weight on the Moon is about 1.6 Newton/kilogram.nope, weight is relative to gravitational force. The astronaut would have the same mass though.
Which is the more fundamental quantity mass or weight?
Mass is more fundamental than weight. Weight depends on mass, but mass does not depend on weight. A 1kilogram object will have less weight than a 2kilogram object no matter where they both are, so weight depends on mass. However, a single object with differing weight forces, for example a 1kilogram object taken from a hill to a valley, will have constant mass, so mass does not depend on weight. This is the case because weight is proportional to the distance to the source of gravity, which on the surface of Earth is the distance to Earth's center of mass. Since the top of a hill is farther from the center than the bottom of a valley, the object on the hill will experience less weight force than the same object in the valley.

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to the gravity of earth?

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
The weight would double, while the mass stayed the same.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object taken to a planet with twice the gravity on earth?
the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change

Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?
Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.
What happens to an objects mass weight and volume when taken into space?
Mass: Does not change Weight: The weight will be zero, if you are not standing on a large massive body (like the moon). When in orbit you are actually in continuous freefall around the planet with a sufficient tangential velocity component. Volume: If the object is filled with gas from the earth's lower atmosphere the gas will exert this pressure on the sides of the object, prehaps causing the object to explode.

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to at planet with twice the gravity of earth?
Nothing would happen to mass, but as weight is technically a force due to gravity, based on mass, the weight would be doubled, but again mass would remain the same.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object weas taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
Mass is not affected by gravity, so it would have the same mass. Weight, on the other hand, is affected by gravity, and would double when on the planet as compared to when it is on Earth (w=mg, where w=weight, m=mass, g=gravitational acceleration also called strength of gravity)
