EXPLAIN the difference between the mass of an object and the weight of an object No definitions?
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.
What is the difference between average atomic mass and mass number?
What is the difference between mass number atomic mass and atomic number?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
What is the weight difference between earth and neptune?
Strictly speaking you should say "mass" for this sort of question. Anyway Neptune's mass is about 17 times the Earth's mass.
What is the difference between mass number relative atomic mass and average atomic mass?
What is the difference between molecular weight in amu and molecular weight in grams?
The only difference is the name of the unit; the numerical values are the same. However, the value in amu is the mass of a single molecule, while the molecular weight in grams is the mass of Avogadro's number of molecules. The mass of Avogadro's number of molecules is called a Gram-mole. The molecular weight of , say, Hydrogen H2 is 2 amu. A gram mole of this would be 2 grams. The molecular weight in grams is the weight of this molecule in real grams and is an extremely small value.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
Is a pound a measure of mass?
No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)
What is the weight difference on mercury?
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. W=mg On Earth, g=9.8N/kg On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass. Weight difference = 6m
What is the difference between mass and weight explain?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
How is the weight of an object calculated?
weight is a kind of force,it's numerical formula's W=mg, where m is mass of the object and g is accln due to gravity
Is the difference in mass and weight?
Mass- the amount of matter that something is made of Weight- a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
Difference in mass and weight?
mass is the actual ''density'' of an object. whereas weight is determined by gravity and mass w=m*g hope this helps
What is different about weight and mass measurement?
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
What is the difference between mass and capacity?
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
What is a correct numerical set up for calculating the number of joules of heat gained by water?
(mass)(temperture difference)(4.18)
What factors can effect body mass?
Weight difference or changing
