What happens to weight as mass increases?
Nothing, "mass" is a property of matter and is constant. Weight is the force of attraction of one mass to another (the affect of gravity on a mass). Thus if weight increases it means that the mass is in a stronger gravity field.
How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
If your mass for example is 10 kg then your weight is 98 newton as the weight=mass *gravity ; weight=mass*9.8 , other example if you went to the moon your mass won`t change but your weight will as gravity changed.
Does Mass and weight are related to one another through the effect gravity has on an object ture or false?
True. A body of mass M will have zero weight in outer space.
Contrast weight and mass?
The world has mass but no weight. Mass is a measure of quantity of matter, Weight is indicated by the pull on a mass in a gravitational field, or equivalently resistance to acceleration.
Does a scale show weight or mass?
It shows the weight, however, by convention we graduate the scale in mass units. The scale is assuming that you are standing on Earth. When you step on a scale the gravity pulls you down, which is called weight. Weight is based on the gravity force. Mass is the amount of stuff inside your body. Which won't change because of gravity. If you go to the moon your weight will be less because the moon has less gravity. Mass will stay the same. Unless you lose one your body parts while on the trip to the moon.
In mass and weight what is less than one?
Mass is the amount of matter. Weight had to do with gravity. Weitht is the force of gravity on mass. Some times we use gravity to measure mass such as a spring scale. That does not mean that gravity and mass are the same thing.
What Planet would you be on if you had no weight?
There isn't one. Anything that has mass has gravity, and anything with gravity will produce a "weight".
What happens to weight as mass increases?
Nothing, "mass" is a property of matter and is constant. Weight is the force of attraction of one mass to another (the affect of gravity on a mass). Thus if weight increases it means that the mass is in a stronger gravity field.
How do you calculate mass if you are only given weight in Newtons?
Weight = (mass) x (local acceleration of gravity). Mass = (weight) / (local acceleration of gravity) If you know the weight and the local acceleration of gravity, you can calculate the mass. Anywhere on or near the surface of the earth, the local acceleration of gravity is about 9.82 meters per second2 . As an example, an object with a weight of 9.82 newtons has a mass of one kilogram.
Difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.
How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
If your mass for example is 10 kg then your weight is 98 newton as the weight=mass *gravity ; weight=mass*9.8 , other example if you went to the moon your mass won`t change but your weight will as gravity changed.
How is weight related to gravitational force?
Weight = Mass * Acceleration of gravity. Weight = force of gravity on particular object. Weight = force of gravity on an object; Gravity = attracts all objects toward each other
How is measurement of weight different from of mass?
Which term describes how much space a substance occupies? volume Not sure how that question relates to the one initially asked, but the answer to 'How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?' is weight includes the force of gravity. Weight Includes The Force Of Gravity (A+)Weight is the measurement of the force of gravity in relation to mass, while mass is the measurement of matter in an object.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
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.
Does Mass and weight are related to one another through the effect gravity has on an object ture or false?
True. A body of mass M will have zero weight in outer space.
Does an objects weight increases its mass decrases?
no, weight is just an objects mass with the force of gravity, so as one increases the other will increase too
