When the weight of one object is found to be greater than the other. Either weighing up both by holding in your hands, or by weighing them on a scale. Obviously, if an iron bar is next to a piece of wood of the same size the iron would be the heaviest.

Does a heavier object or a lighter object experience a greater gravitational force?

A heavier object experiences a greater gravitational force than a lighter object, as the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of an object.


When will an object float in a liquid?

An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object


An object (say car) goes from one point in space to another .After it arrives to its destination its displacement is ( ) than the distance it travelled?

No. The "displacement" is the difference in position, which is not the same as the distance traveled.


Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavy objects?

Lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects because they have less mass, which results in less gravitational force acting on them. This means they experience less acceleration and take longer to reach the ground compared to heavier objects. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for both objects, but the heavier object requires more force to overcome its weight and accelerate at the same rate.


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.

Is it right to say an object sinks in a liquid because it is heavier than the liquid?

No. That is informal language, and not entirely correct. The object sinks if it has a greater density than the liquid. Density is the weight (or mass) per unit volume.


What both objects are made of the same material but the heavier object floats but the lighter object sinks?

If the object sinks or floats depends on mass or weight. The object can be made of the same material, but if the weight is not the same (say if it is heavery than water) it will sink.

Is tempered glass weaker than conventional glass?

Yes. All things being equal tempered is heavier than annealed. I have no idea why, but I've worked with glass for 3 years and can say with certainty that it is heavier. I would estimate 25% heavier.

Which is better Nappa or deerskin leather?

It's not to say one is better than another. Deerskin is less durable but more lightweight and breathable if that is what you're seeking. On the other hand leather is more durable and heavier.

Would it be right to say that soap is heavier than butter?

you can answerr it depending on how much soap you have and how much butter you have.


How much does Brandon Boyd weigh?

Must have heavy bones or something that makes him heavier than he looks Or He weights less than they say They say brandon is 1.89 meter and 86 Kg


Why do some solids sink and some solids float?

Anything heavier than water sinks; anything lighter than water floats. Or, another way to say it: anything with a higher density than water (water weighs about a gram per cubic centimeter), or a higher specific gravity than water, sinks. If the object weighs less than the weight of water that it displaces, then it floats.


How is bolted on or bolted-on in spelling?

To say something is firmly attached to another object, you may say, "bolted on." As in: The nail is bolted on to the board. However, if you are describing a firmly attached object, for example, a shelf, you can say, "the bolted-on shelf."
