We calculate mass using your weight. Your mass always is the same but your weight might change if you were to go to a different planet and be in a different gravitational field. Since that probably won't happen you can think of weight as being constant. Your Mass, (M) is equal to your Weight (W) divided by the acceleration due to gravity (A). M=W/A. There are many ways to calculate mass from your weight, and the method you use depends on what units you use. If you know your weight in pounds, divide that number by 32 (which represents 32 feet/second^2, the approximate accerelation you feel on earth) and you have your approximate mass in slugs, which is the American unit that goes with pounds. If you know your weight in newtons, divide it by 10 ( which represents 10 meters/second^2, the approximate acceration you feel on earth) to get your mass in kilograms. If you are like most Americans and know your weight in pounds but think of mass in kilograms not slugs, than multiply your mass in slugs by 14.6 to get your mass in kilograms.

How do you find the weight of an object on earth?
You could weigh it against other objects. If it is not on the surface, multiply its mass by the acceleration of gravity (at that distance) to find its gravitational potential in newtons.
How can you work out the density of a planet or star?
To find the density, you need both the mass and the radius of the planet or star. The mass can be found if the orbital radius and period of any of the body's satelites are known. If not, thth masses of most bodies can be looked up. The only way of finding the radius is to look it up or to measure it directly, or through spectroscopy. Once you have both values, you use the equation density = mass/volume. Mass is mass, and (assuming the object is spherical) volume is 4/3 * pi * r^3.
What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.
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!!
If the mass of an object on earth is 1200 newtons what is it on the moon?
To find the mass of an object, you can use the formula ( \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times \text{gravity} ). On Earth, the gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s², so a weight of 1200 newtons corresponds to a mass of about 122.4 kg (1200 N ÷ 9.81 m/s²). On the Moon, where the gravitational acceleration is about 1.62 m/s², the weight of that same mass would be approximately 199.3 newtons (122.4 kg × 1.62 m/s²).
How can you use newton's second law to find a force?
Newton's second law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. This can be expressed as the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. By knowing the mass of an object and the acceleration it experiences, you can use this equation to calculate the force acting on the object.
What equipment would be use to find the mass of an object?
To find the mass of an object, you can use a balance or a scale. Place the object on the balance or scale, and it will give you a measurement of the object's mass.
What is the equation you use to determine the momentum of a object?
Momentum= Mass X Velocity
What equation can you use to calculate object momentum p?
The equation to calculate object momentum is: p = m * v where p is momentum, m is mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object.
How do you use a scale to find mass?
you use a triple beam balance to find the mass of an object
Do you use a scale to find mass?
you use a triple beam balance to find the mass of an object
What is the correct too to use to find the mass?
A balance is the correct tool to use to find the mass of an object.
What is the use of balance and masses?
to find out the mass of the object
What tool do you use to find mass of an object?
scale
How do you find the mass of irregular object show the experiment?
To find the mass of an irregular object, you can use a balance or scale. First, measure the mass of the object on the balance. Then, subtract the mass of the container or platform you placed the object on to get the mass of the object alone.
How do you use mass and volume to find the density of an object?
mass divided by volume
To find a objects density what formula do you have to use?
To find an object's density, you can use the formula: Density = mass / volume This equation calculates density in units of mass divided by volume, usually measured in grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per cubic meter.
