How would you check that a pencil would have a mass of less than 1 kilogram?
You would weigh it using a mass balance.
When force stays the same and mass doubles?
Acceleration becomes 50% less.
How do you check prediction that a sheet of paper has a mass less that 1 kilogram?
you weigh it
How is gravity affected when the mass of one object decreases in the mass of the second object stays the same?
Because gravity is the sorce of how the object with less mass falls down
Does the mass of an object change when the pull of gravity changes?
No. The mass of an object is what it's made up of, like if it's a large balloon, it's massive when it comes to air, but it doesn't weigh anything. WEIGHT is what will change. When you say "Pull of gravity" I assume you mean "gravitational pull," and the less gravity felt on an object, the less wight exerted, but the mass stays the same, because the object itself didn't change. Let's say you have a lead ball both here and on the moon. They're both led balls, but they weigh differently because of the gravity difference. Now if you added onto the moon ball so that they weigh the same, then the mass would be different but the weight will be the same. So to answer your question, no.
When an object is submerged will it weigh less or have less mass?
Objects under water seem to weigh less but they have the same mass as they would out of water.
Would you weigh less or more in space?
You would weigh less, but your mass would stay the same. Weight is a result of gravity, mass is an inherent property of matter.
Do you weigh more closer to the moon or halfway?
half way. this is because the closer you are to Earth, the more gravity you have weighing down on you so you weigh more. The moon has less gravity than the Earth so you would weigh less. However, your mass always stays the same.
Where would the person weigh the least sea level moon mount Everest?
moon duh less mass u wouldn't weigh less but u would be lighter on the moon.Another answer:You would weigh less on the moon.Your mass would not change (mass is not determined by gravity) but your weight would be less (weight is determined by gravity).
Why would you weigh the least on mars?
Mars is a smaller planet than Earth. Your weight is the product of two masses yours and the planets Your mass stays the same wherever you are, if you stand on a smaller planet, you weigh less.
Would you way more if you went on Jupiter?
Yes you do. Your mass stays the same but you weigh more. For example. On earth, if your mass is 45kg, you weigh 450N on the moon, its muliplied by six etc.
How would the weight and mass change if you moved from earth to the moon?
First, mass and weight are not the same thing. Second, due to the difference in the gravitational pull of Earth versus the moon, you weigh more on Earth and less on the moon, although your mass stays the same.
How would you check that a pencil would have a mass of less than 1 kilogram?
You would weigh it using a mass balance.
Do An object on Earth weighs six times more than on the moon?
Yes, objects on the moon would weigh six times less, but keep in mind that the objects mass stays the same.
How much does an ant weigh in space?
Nothing - there is no force acting on it - it's mass stays the same and would be what it is on earth
Would person weigh more or less on the moon?
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth, and its Mass is much less. Thus the pull of gravity is much less on the Moon.Therefore, you would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth, even though your Mass would be the same.
Do you weigh more on the moon then you do on the earth?
No, you weigh less as it is smaller. I think your mass stays the same but your weight changes as the gravitational pull of the moon is much smaller comparedto the earth's one.
