How do weight and mass relate to each other?
Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring?
Because is mass is more accurate than weight.
What one has more mass an atom of gold or lead?
The atomic weight/mass of Lead is 207.19 --- --- --- The atomic weight/mass of Gold is 196.96655 --- --- --- --- --- --- Therefor Lead has more mass.
If something has more weight then does it have more mass?
This is a tricky question. Weight is the affect that gravity has on a mass, but gravity is relative to where the object is. This can be observed on Earth by traveling to different elevations and weighing yourself. At the same elevation on any body with a gravitational force, an object with more mass will weigh more. Mass causes weight, weight does not cause, nor always predict mass.
Would a star have more mass or weight?
Mass and weight are the same thing. *Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.
Do scientists use mass more or less then weight?
Scientists use both; but normally mass is used somewhat more than weight.
Why is weight different from mass?
Well mass is different from weight in one major way. Mass is how easily something can lift more than weight being how heavy an object is. For example a balloon has mass, but a person carries weight.
Relationship between mass weight and gravity?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, the more mass something has the more gravity something has.
Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
Are weight and mass he same thing?
No. The relationship is: weight = mass x gravity Mass causes both weight, and inertia. Weight is the force of attraction by gravity, and also depends on the gravitational field, not just on the mass. For more information, check the Wikipedia article "Mass versus weight".
Is the mass greater in a person with more weight?
Yes. Weight and mass are very similar. The difference? Mass is the amount of matter an object has, while weight is the effect of gravity on mass. This is why your weight would be different on the moon, because the gravity is different. Mass would remain the same on the moon as it is on the Earth.
Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
