Would the mass of an elephant be less on the moon?
No, the mass of the elephant will never change, but on the moon the elephant would weigh less. Weight is the affect of gravitation wich is the attraction of two bodies that have mass. The mass of the moon is smaller then that of the earth so the gravitational pull would be less.
Which has less percent of body weight-- a fish or an elephant?
an elephant has less percent of body weight because it distributes the weight more evenly resulting in a smaller amount of body weight <^>
Would an elephant weigh more or less on the moon?
Less. Because the moons gravitational pull is less than Earths. For instance, if the elephant weighed 1000lbs on Earth it would weigh 166lbs on the moon.
How would your weight change if your floating freely in space?
you would be weight "less" as in 0 you wouldn't be able to get on to e.g scales sorry?
Are astronauts weight less in space?
Yes weight changes due to gravity and mass is constant in terms of gravity. There is less gravity in space than the earth so they would weigh less but their mass would be the same. They have less gravity pulling on them, so yes. Unless they have artificial gravity creators in or on the space ship that I don't know about.
Does your weight change if you take a spaceship into space?
Yes, the force of gravity is less in space, so your weight is less too.
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.
Why do you weight less in space?
Here on earth, gravity pulls us down, so the power that pulls us back makes our weight. In space you don't have gravity so nothing will pull us down. You don't weight less in space, you weight nothing in space! That's why we have "mass"
Why is you weight less on the moon if your mass does not change?
Your weight is less on the moon b/c you have less gravity that pushes down on you in space--and in space there is no gravity,its a big vacuum and your mass is whats inside you.
Is your weight bigger or smaller in space?
Your weight is much less in space due to the lack of gravity, and when your in space your weight is literally near-nothing. Your mass stays the same though.
What is volume weight and density?
volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)
How men would it take to lift an elephant?
probably like 2,000 men can lift an elephant but if it were a baby elephant it wuld probably be less : ]
