Gravity. I guess it depends on what you mean by mass and weight. I think you mean like the weight of something on the moon so i will just explain that. The Moon has less weight so that means less gravity pulling down. The less gravity the lighter you are. a 200 pound man would be 33 pounds.

*put your weight in this and it ill tell you your weight on other world not just the moon. If you scroll down, you will notice it even tell you your weight on a neutron star. Ouch....:)

Does earths gravity pull more strongly on a block of wood or on a block of iron having the same size?

Earth's gravity pulls equally on both a block of wood and a block of iron of the same size. Gravity depends on the mass of the objects, not their material composition. The weight experienced by each block will be based on their mass, with the iron block likely to be heavier due to its higher density.


Were some moon rocks really petrified wood?

Yes, some moon rocks that were initially thought to be genuine lunar samples turned out to be petrified wood. This confusion arose when a few samples were misidentified or improperly authenticated. The most notable instance occurred with a moon rock presented to the Netherlands in 1976, which was later discovered to be a piece of wood. Such cases highlight the importance of careful scientific verification in the study of extraterrestrial materials.


Why is there a change of mass after combustion?

When something burns, it is getting oxidized. Combustion reactions involve oxygen. During oxidation, 1.the substance forms a bond with oxygen (or) 2.an element of the substance breaks away from it to bond with oxygen. The mass of the reactants (substance + oxygen) are always equal to the mass of the products. If the mass referred to in the question is the mass of the substance, then you can say that the mass has increased due to the addition of oxygen when the substance is forming a bond with it. However in reactions where an element breaks off the substance to bond with oxygen, the mass in question can be assumed to be that of the major portion of the substance. Then, it may be said that the mass of the substance has reduced. For example, carbon in a substance combines with oxygen to form CO2. Thus the substance loses carbon and its mass reduces.


After a fire the ashes have less mass and take up less space than the trees and vegetation before the fireHow can this be explained in terms of the law of conservation of mass?

No, it is not an exception . The supposed loss of weight is accounted for by the gases escaping from the reaction . If we weight the gases and the ashes , it will be the same as the log of wood There are no exceptions to the law of conservation of mass


How much does a hot-air balloon weigh?

When a balloon is sufficiently inflated with hot air so that it can fly, its weight is somewhat less than an equal volume of surrounding cool air. This is like a chunk of wood floating in water; it is less dense than water. The actual weight depends on the volume and density of the wood.

What is theweight of a block of wood iin pounds?

A block of wood can be of different sizes; this will affect the mass, and weight, a lot. To a lesser degree, the weight of a block of wood will also depend on the density, since different types of wood have different densities.


Weight and mass relationship?

An object's mass is the quantity of matter that comprises it ... the total protons, neutrons, electrons, lint, moisture, dirt, wood-chips, and anything else of which the object is composed. It belongs to the object, and doesn't depend on where the object is or in what position it is, etc. An object's weight is the gravitational force between the object and any other mass. That force depends on both the object's mass and the other mass, and also on how far apart they are. An object's weight is its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity in the place where the object is located at the moment ... so it can change. For example, your weight would be FW=(your mass in kg)*(9.80m/s2) because 9.80m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.


Why is making wood to furniture is physical change?

said pop_singer17@yahoo.com...it is called a physical change because its just only a wooden stick and it doesnt change in color, texture,or substance. .just only in size...


Does an objects weight change in the water?

No. Weight = mass * g, where g = 9.8 m/s2, a constant. The mass of an object does not change unless it undergoes a chemical or nuclear change. Hence its weight is a constant too. However, the "apparent weight" changes because the inherent weight is now compensated somewhat by buoyancy, acting in the opposite direction as gravity. The weight of a piece of wood in water will be completely opposed by the buoyancy and so it floats. The weight of a concrete block cannot be completely compensated by buoyancy and so it sinks. ========================


Describe how a physical property such as mass or texture can change without causing a change without causing a change in the substance?

Lets say you had wood. You can grind around the surface of the wood to make its texture softer or use a saw to cut the wood so each separate piece has a smaller mass. However, after these changes, you still have the same substance as before (in this case, wood) ^_^

How is the mass of a wood block related to its volume?

Density of wood = mass/volume


What is the weight of the water if one-third of the weight of the wood is above the water?

If one-third of the weight of the wood is above the water, then two-thirds of the weight is below the waterline. The weight of the water displaced by the wood is equal to the weight of the wood submerged in the water, according to Archimedes' principle. So the weight of the water displaced is two-thirds of the weight of the wood.
