What is the weight of a 1kg object on the surface of the moon?
0.166 kg
Why is mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
Well, no matter what, our mass would be the same where ever you go. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Theres no way that you could just lose a little mass simply by going to the moon, its impossible.
If a toy has a weight of 1kg what is its earth weight?
Relative to what? On the Earth - 1kg.
What would 1 kg weight on the moon?
Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon. But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same. You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc. So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.
What object has the mass of 1kg?
-- A 2-lb cheese wrapped in heavy foil and sealed in a box. -- A rock that weighs 2.2 pounds.
What is the weight of a 1kg object on the surface of the moon?
0.166 kg
How much is 1 kg?
The weight of any object is caused by the gravitational field of the nearest, large object. For a 1kg mass on the Earth its weight is about 10 Newtons. On the moon, the same 1kg mass would have a weight of about 2 Newtons.
What is the force of gravity on an object's mass?
None, an objects mass (how much stuff there is as measured in kg and g or lb and oz if your old fashioned) is constant, no matter where it is in the universe.Gravity affects weight. The amount of gravity changes how much force (weight) is exerted on an object of a specific mass.E.g., on Earth, a 1kg object has a weight force of 10N towards the centre of the planet.On the Moon, the same 1kg object only has a 1.6N force exerted on it towards the centre, because the Moon has a weaker gravitational field than Earth.
What is the volume of 1kg stone?
Without knowing the density of an object, it's not possible to calculate it's volume by weight. A 1kg piece of granite and a 1kg piece of igneous rock would be very different in volume.
What do you do to get a mass?
Mass is the measure of the amount of material in the object being directly related to the number and type of atoms present in the object. Mass does not change with the body's position, movement or alteration of its shape unless material is added or removed. The weight of the object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity. Since the weight is a force, density is mass/volume. If an object has a mass of 1kg on Earth is would have a mass of 1kg on the moon even though it would weigh 1/6th. as much. Mass is inertial property
Can one material weigh less than another but have greater mass?
the Weight of an object is the force gravity exerts on it. So if you take a 1kg mass, on earth it pushes down 9.8n. but on say, the moon, you could take a 2kg mass, the amount of force it exerts downwards (the weight) would be less then the 1kg does on earth. So yes, but not if they are in the same place!
How much do objets weigh on the moon than the earth?
Any object on the moon weighs 1/6th of what it weighs on Earth. For e.g., a 6kg object will weigh only 1kg on the moon.
1kg equals 1000g A 5kg object has less inertia than an object with a mass of what?
Strictly, kg (kilogrammes) is a unit of weight rather than mass, which is measured in N (Newtons). This is important, because the MASS of an object does not change, whereas its WEIGHT does change according to the gravitational pull it is experiencing. On earth 1kg is about 10N. On the moon, say, something weighing 1kg would have a MASS of a little over 60N. If we change the word 'mass' in your question to 'weight', then the answer would be 'anything greater than 5kg'. If not, then 'anything greater than 50N subject to gravitational forces on the Earth's surface'. An object's INERTIA is the force that must be overcome in order to change its position (if stationary): so, it is clearly easier to move a 5kg object than it is to move any object that is heavier.
Whats the units of weight and mass?
The units used for weight and mass are the same but there is a subtle difference in the meaning.Take for instance an amount of substance that has a mass of 1kg. On earth it would weigh 1 kg. Taking the same object into space it would weigh nothing but would still have a mass of 1 kg. This is called inertial mass. Taking the object to the moon and it would still have a mass of 1 kg but would weigh about 1/6 of a kg. Weight is dependant on the gravitational field where the object is. This is a simplified explanation

What is the weight of 1 kilogram on earth?
The weight of 1 kg is 1 kg on Earth. If the force is to be determined, it is 9.8 Newtons due to gravity.
