Does weighing machine gives mass or weight?
A weighing machine will give you the mass of an item. The weight of an item is the amount of force that an item exerts on the earths surface.
Can electronic balance measure mass?
What is registered on the scale is weight or force, at the earths surface 1 kg mass = 1 kg weight, if you put 1 kg mass on the scales at two earth radius, it would weigh 0.25 kg Equation concerned is: force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
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
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
Does an objects weight change in relationship to its distance from the earths surface?
Yes, the weight of an object decreases as it gets farther from the earth (but it's mass remains the same). The weight of a space shuttle in its usual orbit is about 85% of what it is on the ground (it only seems weightless because it's in orbit).
Does weighing machine gives mass or weight?
A weighing machine will give you the mass of an item. The weight of an item is the amount of force that an item exerts on the earths surface.
What is the weight of a 35kg object on Earth?
W = mg, where m is mass in kg and g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2. W = 35kg x 9.8m/s2 = 343N
What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?
The mass will remain the same, but the weight will be one sixth of what it was on earth, since weight depends on the local force of gravity. The moons gravity is one sixth of the earths.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater the earths Why.?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
When an astronaut walks on the moon is either her mass or her weight the same as on earths?
The mass is the same; the weight is not.
How is gravity affected if mass is changed?
if you double the earths density say , standing at the surface you would experience twice the acceleration, weight would be doubled
What is the mass of the stone when it is at the earths center if a hole is drilled to the center if the earth and stone whose mass is one kilo gram at the earth's surface is dropped into it?
One kilogram. Mass is invariant.The weight at that point is zero. But the mass doesn't change.
What does 2.2046 pounds equal in Kilograms?
While we often use this conversion factor, it is not true. pounds (weight) is a force while kilograms are a mass. but this is the weight of a kilogram on the earths surface (where g=9.81) but on the moon's surface 1Kg is approximately .367 pounds.
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
What would your weight b if earths mass were to be doubled?
Your weight would be double what it is now.
Can electronic balance measure mass?
What is registered on the scale is weight or force, at the earths surface 1 kg mass = 1 kg weight, if you put 1 kg mass on the scales at two earth radius, it would weigh 0.25 kg Equation concerned is: force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
How much of the earths land mass is habitable?
If by land mass you mean the surface, then 99% is habitable.
