Can an object have zero weight?
Yes, weight depends on the gravity of the planet. The weight of an object is different on a planet with a different gravity. An object has zero weight in outer space. No! An object does not have zero weight in outer space. Why? Because gravity exists in outer space.
Does gravity depend on mass or weight?
well weight depends on mass and gravity so gravity depends on mass. e.g weight=mass X gravity
Why the weight of an object is different on Earth and the moon?
Because of the gravity.
Why is the weight of an object different on earth and the moon?
Because of the gravity.
Is mass directly propertional to weight?
Yes. Weight is equal to mass times gravity, so if you keep gravity constant (for example, measure different masses on planet Earth), weight is indeed proportional to mass. But if you compare measures with different gravity, you see that weight not only depends on the mass.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
People have different weight on different planets or the moon due to variations in gravitational pull. Gravity is weaker on the moon and certain planets compared to Earth, resulting in a person weighing less. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it changes based on the strength of gravity.
Can weight be zero physics?
Yes. you weight depends on gravity.
How much Geth from Mass Effect weight?
It depends on the planet! All masses are different on each planet, because the gravity is different. But I'm sure you want the weight of them in Earth terms. They're about the weight of a human, only a little heavier, as they are machines.
Is weight stronger mass?
Weight and mass are fundamentally different things, and they are measured in different units (newton, versus kilograms). Weight is caused by mass, but it also depends on gravity. The formula is: weight = gravity x mass Mass also causes inertia.
Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from that on earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from from the earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon
