How is mass and weight are different?
Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets
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.
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.
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.
Is mass the amount of wieht of an object?
No. Weight and mass are two quite different things. Weight is the mass times the gravity. The same mass will have a different weight on other planets, for example, where the gravitational field may be stronger or weaker.
How is mass and weight are different?
Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets
When are mass and weight the same?
Mass and weight are different notions in a correct physics terminology.
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?

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.
Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight?
Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight? Let's look at the question without one bit of it..... "Do all rocks weigh the same if they have ......... .... ... the same weight?" If things are the same weight, then they weigh the same.
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.
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.
What may be different when an object has the same mass anywhere?
The answer is weight.

Is the atomic mass of an element equaled to the mass of an average atom?
The atomic weight is taken as the average weight or mass of the different isotopes of the Same atom That exists in the different %age in our enviromenT
