When an astronaut goes to the moon which will decrease his mass or his weight?

The astronaut from the country that has a space program that wants to send a person to the moon's weight will decrease due to the fact that weight is directly related to gravity.


When gravitational force changes. changes to the same degree?

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore, if the distance between two objects changes, the gravitational force between them will change in the same way (directly proportional).


How would your mass and weight change if you went to Jupiter?

Your mass would not change... it's a constant. However, your weight would increase, because the force of gravity (directly related to the mass of the planet) would increase substantially. (Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the two objects in the field, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them). You can thank Newton for that equation.


What is the measurement of the pull of gravity between the earth and the earth objects?

I assume you mean "between Earth and other objects". That is called the WEIGHT of the objects.


Are objects in communications satellites weighless?

Objects in communication satellites still have weight, as weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. However, in the microgravity environment of space, objects appear weightless because they are in free fall around the Earth.

Does weight define an objects mass?

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it is directly related to an object's mass. However, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains the same regardless of the gravitational force acting on it.


Is weight directly or inversely proportional to the distance?

Weight is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. This means that as the distance increases, the gravitational force between the objects decreases.


Can you measure the difference in gravitational force between two different normal size objects and the earth?

Sure. You can measure the weight of each of the objects, then subtract. Or you can put the objects on both sides of a pulley; this lets you directly measure the difference in weight.


What is the most common factor directly related to weight gain?

Why do objects with more mass weigh more than objects with less mass?

Objects with more mass weigh more because weight is directly proportional to mass. The gravitational force acting on an object is stronger when the object has more mass, resulting in a greater weight measurement.


How are mass and second related?

Balance, second and mass arent all directly related, balance, as maybe in a weight balance and mass, both due with volume weight, etc. Hope this helped !


Are second and mass related?

Balance, second and mass arent all directly related, balance, as maybe in a weight balance and mass, both due with volume weight, etc. Hope this helped !


Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?

No, an object's weight does not directly affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface. Friction is determined by the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force acting between them, which is influenced by weight but is not directly proportional to it.


Does the weight affect the acceleration?

Yes, weight does affect acceleration. In general, objects with greater weight require more force to accelerate compared to lighter objects. This is due to the relationship described by Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to its mass.


How are speed and weight related?

Speed and weight are related in that a heavier object requires more force to accelerate or decelerate, thus affecting its speed. In general, heavier objects tend to have lower speeds due to the increased force required to move them compared to lighter objects.

i am pretty sure it is weight. Yup. Its definitely Weight. :D
