Is it possible that a body may have non zero mass but zero weight?
Yes, it is possible for a body to have non-zero mass but zero weight when in free-fall or in a microgravity environment where there is no gravitational force acting on the body. Weight is the force due to gravity acting on an object, and so in the absence of gravity, the body would have zero weight but still have mass.
What happens to the mass of a body when it is at the center of the earth?
Assuming that you could get the mass there and intact, the mass of the body would not change. Its weight, however would be zero. Depending on the matter used, the volume might be considerably reduced due to pressure.
What would your mass be in space if you weighed 48kg?
Your mass would be 48kg both on Earth and in space as mass remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, would vary depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on.
Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
Can a person's weight change and their mass remain the same?
weight is mass times acceleration. If the acceleration is zero, e.g. weightless in space, then the mass you have is still the same, but since there is no acceleration, there is no weight. Experiment. If you attach a small mass to a spring balance, then while you are lifting it, the weight will increase.
Can weight be zero physics?
In classical physics, weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. If an object has zero mass, it would not experience weight as weight is proportional to mass. So, for a body to have zero weight, it would need to have zero mass.
Is it possible that a body may have non zero mass but zero weight?
Yes, it is possible for a body to have non-zero mass but zero weight when in free-fall or in a microgravity environment where there is no gravitational force acting on the body. Weight is the force due to gravity acting on an object, and so in the absence of gravity, the body would have zero weight but still have mass.
In which condition a body with fixed mass can have zero weight?
A body with fixed mass can have zero weight when it is in freefall or orbiting in space due to the absence of a gravitational force acting on it. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and when the force of gravity is balanced by the centripetal force of the body's motion, the body experiences weightlessness.
What is the average weight of a shed?
The shed is of zero mass and zero weight
Why does fat add weight to your bodies?
Fat has mass, so it adds weight to your body. (If you were weighed in zero gravity, it would weigh nothing, but it still has mass.)
What will happen to mass and weight of a body on earth if suddenly gravitational attraction of the earth disappeared?
Your mass would be unaffected, it is simply to do with the atoms in your body. Your weight would be reduced to zero as that is simply how much your body is affected by gravity.
Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?
No, mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains constant regardless of the location. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it can vary depending on the strength of gravity.
What wouid happen to mass and weight of a body if the force of gravity disappear suddenly?
If the force of gravity were to disappear suddenly, the mass of the body would remain the same, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change. However, the weight of the body would become zero, since weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
What would be the weight in kilograms of a 50 kg body?
The weight of a body depends upon the force of gravity acting upon that body. A 50 kg body will have a weight that is 50 times that of a 1 kg mass. The weight of the body will be different on earth, on the moon and in deep space (zero).
What happens to the mass of a body when it is at the center of the earth?
Assuming that you could get the mass there and intact, the mass of the body would not change. Its weight, however would be zero. Depending on the matter used, the volume might be considerably reduced due to pressure.
What the difference between mass and weight and how they pertain to gravity?
Mass is the quantitiy of matter. But weight is the force of pull on the mass due to gravity. So mass is invariant where as weight depends on the gravity. If acceleration due to gravity is zero, then weight too becomes zero. So in free space mass exists but weight vanishes.
What's more likely: an object whose mass is 0, or an object whose weight is 0?
If an object's mass is exactly zero, then the object does not exist. No mass means no atoms. However, an object can have no weight and still have a mass. The weight depends on the gravitational force.
