Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
How will the mass of a 70 kg man change if he is standing on Jupiter?
Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you go to. Weight is what changes since the acceleration due to gravity of different planets are different.
Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to poles?
say mass(m) = 100 kgvelocity(v) at equator = 464.6 metres / secondradius(r) to earth surface = 6 371 000 metresacceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.82 (m / s) / s.the force of attraction (f) anywhere on earths surface, = m * g = 100 * 9.82 = 982 newtons.the force of repulsion / centripetal force (f) at the equator = mass * (v^2) / r =3.39 newtons
Will you Weigh more at the North Pole or at the equator?
Yes an object weighs more at the North Pole than at the equator, for two reasons: distance from the center of the earth, and Earth's rotation. The Earth is not perfectly spherical, it's an oblate, wider at the equator than at the poles because it's spinning. As such you are slightly closer (by 3.5 km) to the center of the Earth when standing at the poles. Being slightly closer to the center of mass means that the gravity is slightly stronger, making you weigh more. Also, at the equator, you are spinning around the Earth's axis with the rest of the planet, and this acts to reduce the measured weight of an object. However, the combined difference is only about 1/200 of your weight (0.5%).
Between mass and weight which is dependent on the other?
The weight is dependent on the mass. Mass is the same everywhere but since weight is mass * acceleration due to gravity, weight is the dependent variable.
Convert a mass of 2.189 grams into mass in milligrams recall the 1g equals 1000mg?
2189 mg
Is there any difference between the mass and the weight if they were at both the north pole and at the equator?
Mass would be the same at the equator and at the pole - except for an insignificant change due to the General Theory of Relativity. Weight would be more at the pole.
What would your weight be at the equator?
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. In the SI system, g = 9.8 m/s^2. Hence, your weight at the equator will be 9.8xm Newton. ( I dont know your mass. you see. so I'm writing 'm') Cheers!

When standing on bathroom scale are you measure in mass or density?
Scales either measure mass, or weight - but they are callibrated to show mass (for example, kilograms).
What is the affect of latitude n longitude of earth on gravity?
Your weight at the north or south pole would be ever so slightly greater than it is at the equator, because the Earth is slightly fatter around the equator than it is around the poles, so if you're standing on the equator, you're slightly farther from the Earth's center of mass than you are if you're standing on one of the poles. Other than that, your location on the surface of the Earth has no effect at all on the forces of gravity that attract you and the Earth toward each other.
Why would your weight be greater on the moon then the earth?
The main reason is the fact that your weight is proportional to the product of your mass multiplied by the mass of whatever large body you're standing on, and the earth's mass is roughly 80 times as much as the moon's mass..
Why do we use mass measurements instead of weight?
The mass of an object is a constant (if you exclude thermonuclear processes). The weight of an object is the effect of gravity on the object. Leaving aside the extreme situation whereby in space your weight would be 0 and on a neutron star your body would be crushed under the weight of your own head, there are variations in the weight on the surface of the earth. Your weight will decrease as you move towards the equator or go up mountains and so move further from the centre of the earth. It you happen to be standing above dense mineral deposits you will be heavier. As a result , weight is too imprecise a measurement.
What is the weight of a 10kg object on the moon?
Did mass change when you move from equator to poles?
No. Your mass doesn't even change when you move from the equator to the moon.
Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
Why would you way more on Jupiter even though your mass would stay the same?
Because your weight is proportional to the product of your mass and the mass ofwhatever large body you happen to be standing on at the moment. The number you'reused to seeing is your weight when the other body is the earth. If the other body is notthe earth but something different, then your weight is different.
