How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
Which property of an object could be changed if that object traveled to anther planet?
only the mass will change, the mass is the force applied by an object.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
How would your present weight change if earth had twice the mass that it does now?
It would double.
Suppose you took a trip to the moon how and why would your weight change would your mass change too?
Your mass would stay the same, but your weight would change. Weight is the effect of gravity acting upon an object, where as mass is the amount of matter an object has. Your "weight" measured on the Moon would be one-sixth your weight on Earth.
What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?
There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!
Why would your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?
Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.
How does the weight and mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
Would your mass change after you run?
Mass, being the total amount of matter in an object, would change when you run, because you sweat when you run. If you ran every day, you could lose a considerable amount of weight (mass x force of gravity), so you would also lose mass.That being said, mass is not = to weight, but YES, you can lose mass by running
Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
Your weight would change on the moon because gravity is weaker there compared to Earth, so you would feel lighter. However, your mass would remain the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, which does not change.
Why is it that your weight and not your mass that would change if you land on Mars?
Your weight would change, as weight is dependant upon the gravitational strength of the body that you are landing on. Your mass is essentially you as a whole it has an arbitrary value, so that weight can be calculated later on.
What would happen to your weight is earths mass remained the same?
If earth's mass were to remain the same, your weight would be constant, i.e. it would not change.
Why would your weight would change if you orbited the earth in the space shuttle but your mass would not?
Mass is the amount of material that you are comprised of, whereas weight is how heavy that mass is in the level of gravity where it resides.
Would your weight and mass change on the moon?
So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.
What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
An example is when an object is moved from one location to another where the gravitational pull is different. Weight is dependent on gravity, so a change in gravity would cause the weight of the object to change while its mass remains the same.
