Yes, the mass doesn't change. The weight may change, depending on the local gravity. The apparent weight will change even more, because of the (ficticious) "centrifugal force".

What happens to the mass of a body when it is at the center of the earth?

Assuming that you could get the mass there and intact, the mass of the body would not change. Its weight, however would be zero. Depending on the matter used, the volume might be considerably reduced due to pressure.


How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?

The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.


Why don't we notice a difference between mass and weight on earth?

We don't notice a difference between mass and weight on Earth because the acceleration due to gravity is constant on the surface of the Earth. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, so as long as the acceleration due to gravity remains constant, the weight of an object will be proportional to its mass.


What would your mass be in space if you weighed 48kg?

Your mass would be 48kg both on Earth and in space as mass remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, would vary depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on.


Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?

Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.

Is the mass of a body constant?

The mass of a body is constant, meaning it remains the same regardless of its location or environment. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change unless matter is added to or removed from the body.


IS the gravitaional constant of moon is same as earth?

No, the gravitational constant on the Moon is not the same as on Earth. The gravitational constant depends on the mass and radius of the celestial body. The Moon has a lower mass and radius compared to Earth, resulting in a weaker gravitational constant on the Moon.


Is mass always constant no matter where you are?

as mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body


What force is acting on the weight?

Weight is , actually, the force experienced by a body on the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. It is expressed as the same way as force Force = mass*acceleration where as weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity Since mass of a body is constant and gravity is almost constant(9.8 m/s2 ) except at the poles where it is (10 m/s2 ) , a body has the same weight, wherever it is on earth.


What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?

The force between the Earth and a body on Earth is the gravitational force, which is determined by the mass of the Earth, the mass of the body, and the distance between them. This force causes objects to be pulled towards the center of the Earth.


What is the measure of the gravitational force on an object is?

Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.


Is weight of body maximum at poles?

No, the weight of a body remains the same regardless of its location on Earth. Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the strength of gravity, which is relatively constant across the Earth's surface.


Why is your mass the same on Earth and the moon?

Your mass is the same on Earth and the moon because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, and it remains constant regardless of the gravitational pull. However, your weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth's gravity.

What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?

The mass of a body remains the same regardless of its location in the universe. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that represents the amount of matter it contains. So, the mass of a body will not change no matter where it is located.


How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?

The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.


A radio with a mass of 3.5 kg on earth what is its mass in orbit?

If an object has a mass of 3.5 kg, then its mass is 3.5 kg. Doesn't matter where it is.Its weight may change in different places and situations, but its mass won't.
