Only if they are in the same inertial frame of reference.
On Earth if a) has a mass of 60kg and b) has a mass of 10kg - then a) would weigh more.
If a) was on the Moon and b) stayed on Earth then they would both weigh the same.
If b) decided to go to the Sun, then b) would weigh more than a).
Mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight is deduced by the amount of "pull" gravity has on you.
What else can I help you with?
How would your weight change if the Earth tripled in size and mass?
You would be weightless since you would be in space. the distance to the center of the Earth is about 4k miles.
In mass and weight what is less than one?
Mass is the amount of matter. Weight had to do with gravity. Weitht is the force of gravity on mass. Some times we use gravity to measure mass such as a spring scale. That does not mean that gravity and mass are the same thing.
Does gravity depend on mass or weight?
Gravity depends on the mass of an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. So, weight depends on both an object's mass and the strength of gravity acting on it.
What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
Why does a bigger object weigh more?
A bigger object typically weighs more because it has a greater amount of mass. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and mass is the amount of matter it contains. Therefore, larger objects with more mass experience a stronger gravitational force and thus weigh more.
What does it mean to say mass and weight are proportional to each other?
Saying mass and weight are proportional means that as mass increases, weight (the force due to gravity acting on the mass) also increases in direct proportion. This relationship is described by the equation Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
How do weight and mass relate to each other?
Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring?
Because is mass is more accurate than weight.
Do mass and weight mean the same?
No
What does mass mean in the metric system?
Weight Technically mass is a body's resistance to acceleration. That means that the greater the mass of a body, the greater the force needed to start or stop it moving. In everyday language mass is referred to as weight, but weight is the force acting on a body, due to gravity normally, and is measured in newtons, mass is measured in kilograms.
Do mass and weight mean the same thing?
No
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.
Which is more common a mass of zero or a weight of zero?
Depend on what exactly do you mean by 'common'. On one hand there are countless photon everywhere which has zero mass. But if you mean everyday objects, then zero weight of cause (free fall, space etc), as I don't think zero mass is even attainable at this scale.
Would a star have more mass or weight?
Mass and weight are the same thing. *Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.
Do scientists use mass more or less then weight?
Scientists use both; but normally mass is used somewhat more than weight.
Why is weight different from mass?
Well mass is different from weight in one major way. Mass is how easily something can lift more than weight being how heavy an object is. For example a balloon has mass, but a person carries weight.
Does mass and weight mean the same thing What does mass and weight in similar?
Mass and weight are similar because they are directly proportional to one another. Mass is the measure of matter within an object, and weight is the force with which gravity pulls down on that mass. If the mass is great, the force pulling on it is great.
