What is different about weight and mass measurement?
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
Are weight and mass the same measurement?
No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.
Between mass and weight the more fundamental quantity is?
Mass. Weight is different depending on gravity, but mass is always the same. On the Moon an astronaut weighs less, but has the same mass that they have on Earth.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the object weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
Will the mass of an object be the same on Earth as it is on the moon?
Yes, but the weight of that mass will be different.
What is different about weight and mass measurement?
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?
Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.
Are weight and mass the same measurement?
No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.
Why is your weight on earth different from out mass on the moon?
You can't compare WEIGHT with MASS - those two are used to measure quite different things. It doesn't make sense to say that they are the same, or that they are different. You can only compare mass with mass, or weight with weight.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?
Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.
Will The mass of an object will be the same on the Earth as it is on the Moon?
Yeah, but the weight will be different
Is the mass of the rubber ball different on the moon?
No. Mass is constant - only the weight would be affected because weight = mass x acceleration...lower gravity on the moon means less acceleration. Mass is constant!
