If the object's mass is 5 kg, then it's 5 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars,

or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another.

Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.

What is the mass of an object anywhere in the universe?

The mass of an object is unaffected by gravitational forces. Assuming we ignore relativistic effects (mass increase to infinite and so on) we can say that an object with a mass of 5kg will have that mass anywhere in the universe (within reason). On the other hand, an object that WEIGHS 5kg on earth will have a measured weight that varies considerably depending upon what gravitational fields are affecting it.


How much would it weigh on the moon if the object weighed 30 newtons on earth?

Because F=mg -> m=F/g On earth g=10 m/sec2 so m1=30/10=3 kg On the Moon g=0.16 m/sec2 so m2=30/0.16=180 kg m2


How many newtons does a 5-kg backpack weigh on earth?

First of all, I will tell you the quick and easy way to find the answer. The equation is 9.8 multiplied by 5. You always use the number 9.8 because that is the measurement of Earth's gravity. You use the number 5 because that is the mass of the object you are measuring. That number changes depending on the object's mass. A 5kg backpack would weigh 49 Newtons on Earth. Good luck with science or whatever you needed this for!!


How much lighter will you be on the moon if you are now 20kg?

If I were to be in space which would be awsome I would be or you would be 3kg on the moon. If you were 30 kg you would be 5kg on the moon.


How much would a 5.0 kg puppy weigh on earth?

If it was weighed on the moon it would be 3kgs but obviously f it was weighed on earth it would be 5 kgs. if it was 5kg on the moon it would be about 8.2 kgs on earth

What object would have more inertia than a 5kg object?

An object with a higher mass would have more inertia than a 5kg object. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass - the greater the mass, the greater the inertia. So, any object that weighs more than 5kg would have more inertia.


1kg equals 1000g A 5kg object has less inertia than an object with a mass of what?

Strictly, kg (kilogrammes) is a unit of weight rather than mass, which is measured in N (Newtons). This is important, because the MASS of an object does not change, whereas its WEIGHT does change according to the gravitational pull it is experiencing. On earth 1kg is about 10N. On the moon, say, something weighing 1kg would have a MASS of a little over 60N. If we change the word 'mass' in your question to 'weight', then the answer would be 'anything greater than 5kg'. If not, then 'anything greater than 50N subject to gravitational forces on the Earth's surface'. An object's INERTIA is the force that must be overcome in order to change its position (if stationary): so, it is clearly easier to move a 5kg object than it is to move any object that is heavier.

What is the qualitative and quantitive observations of an object if the sides measure 4cm and the mass is 5kg?

Qualitative observations would include the color, texture, and shape of the object, while quantitative observations would be the dimensions (4cm sides) and mass (5kg).


The mass of water is 5kg It is then decreases by 1 kg What is the final mass of water 1kg or 4kg?

It is: 5kg-1kg = 4kg


What is the mass of a 5 kg on the earth moon mars and Jupiter?

The mass of the object is constant at 5 kg regardless of location. However, the weight of the object will vary depending on the gravitational pull of each celestial body - it will weigh less on the Moon, more on Mars, and significantly more on Jupiter due to their differing gravitational strengths.


Which one weights more 5kg steel or 5kg Cotton wool?

Both 5kg of steel and 5kg of cotton wool have the same weight because they both weigh 5kg. Weight is a measurement of mass, and in this case, they both have the same mass of 5kg.


What is the acceleration produced by a force of 10N exerted on an object of mass 5kg?

The acceleration produced by a force of 10N exerted on an object of mass 5kg is 2 m/s^2. This is calculated using the formula a = F/m, where a is the acceleration, F is the force, and m is the mass of the object.


What is the mass of 49 Newton's?

Mass is not measured in Newtons. The mass of an object, which represents the amount of matter it contains, is measured in kilograms. To convert force (measured in Newtons) to mass, you would need to divide the force by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth) to get the mass in kilograms.


A case half full of apples has a mass of 8kg the same case when one quarter full has a mass of 5kg what is the mass of the empty case?

2 kgs


The mass of water is 5kgIt is then decrease by 0.5kg So the final mass of water is 0.5kg or 4.5kg?

It is: 5kg-0.5kg = 4.5kg


What is the mass if the force is 10N and the acceleration is 2m second squared?

The mass can be calculated using the formula: mass = force / acceleration. In this case, mass = 10N / 2 m/s^2 = 5 kg.
