What would be the mass of a person on the moon?
The mass does not change, the weight does. Mass is how much space something takes up and mass cannot be created nor destroyed
Is this true or false the weight of a person can change but the mass stays the same?
That is very true. The mass of something is definite, "the amount of stuff in an object"; However, the weight of something is the pull of gravity on an object. Someone or something's weight can change if, for example, they go to the Moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body with different levels of gravity.
Why can your weight change if you go to another planet but your mass will not change?
Your mass is the amount of stuff that makes up our body. It can only change if you either remove something from your body or add something to it. Your weight is the amount of force you experience from gravity. It depends on both your mass and the strength of the gravity. Since the strength of gravity varies between the planets, so will your weight.
What is reason mass and weight are the same everywhere on earth?
The question isn't quite right. Wherever you go on earth, there is mass. Weight changes, however. I think it helps to know the fundamentals to understand this. Mass causes gravity, and gravity causes weight. If you were at the center of the earth, the gravity from the mass would pull you equally in all directions, and you would be weightless. Weight is the measurable effect of mass.
Why doesn't your mass change on different planets?
Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.
To find the pressure that the solid exerts on something what do you need to know about the solid?
You need to know the mass of the solid.
What does the weight of something depend on?
Weight of something depends on mass
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

What is the difference between mass and capacity?
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
How do weight and mass differ from each other?
Weight is how heavy something is and mass is how much space something takes up.
How can you find the weight of something using a mathematical formula?
It depends on what information you have. You need to know the mass of something and the force of gravity at the location where you want its weight. If you do not know the mass, you need to know the density and volume. Archimedes's method is not appropriate because that derives the weight by experiment rather than mathematical formula. If you do not have the volume, you need to know those dimensions of the object that will allow you to calculate the volume.
What is the mass of an object tha weighs 98 newtons?
If it weighs 98 newtons on Earth, then we know that its mass is about 10kg. If that figure is its weight somewhere else, then its mass is something else.
How is mass used in soccer?
the weight of something
How is the mass different from weight?
Mass is the amount of matter that something is made of. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object usually by the earth. Weight can change but Mass cannot. Mass always stays the same
Relationship between mass weight and gravity?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, the more mass something has the more gravity something has.
What is it's mass?
mass is just the amount of weight or pressure add on to something
When you know the weight of an object what does that mean?
ok well a weight is a force. therefore F=ma (force=massXacceleration) the weight of something (F) is equal to its mass times acceleration (9.8(gravity))
