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.
Mary father mass is 4 time is heavy than Mary if total weight is 117.5 find the mass of marry?
I can't determine the mass of Mary, because I don't know what planet or moon she and her father live on, and I don't know the units of the total weight of 117.5 . But I can tell you that Mary's mass weighs 23.5 and her father's mass weighs 94.
Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?
No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.
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
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 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.
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.

How is mass used in soccer?
the weight of something
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))
Will the mass or weight increase when you eat something?
When you eat something, the mass of your body temporarily increases due to the addition of the food. This increase in mass will also correspond to an increase in weight, as weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass. However, once the food is digested and metabolized, the mass and weight will decrease as your body processes and eliminates waste.
How heavy something is mass the amount of gravity?
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.
Why is the pull of gravity called weight and not mass?
Weight is a force, which is defined as something capable of accelerating mass. So it's not called mass because it's not mass.
