The mass is physical quantity measured in kilograms, and the weight is a force measured in Newtons.
The weight depends on the mass of the planet you are standing on, and altitude. At sea level on earth, 1 kg presses on a scale with 9.8 Newtons of force, 30kg with 294 Newtons, but the scale shows 1kg or 30kg respectively for weight because we tend to think of mass and weight as synonymous.
A very precise spring scale is going to show lower weight at higher altitudes! In orbit, the weight is zero; even though the mass is the same! Because of this variation with altitude, scales that must measure mass accurately do not depend on springs.
What else can I help you with?
If a toy has a weight of 1kg what is its earth weight?
The weight of an object on Earth is the same as its mass, which is 1kg in this case. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
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.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
What is the weight of a 2.45 kg mass on earth?
The weight of a 2.45 kg mass on Earth can be calculated using the formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, the average acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, the weight of a 2.45 kg mass on Earth is approximately 24 N (Newtons).
Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?
Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
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!
If a toy has a weight of 1kg what is its earth weight?
The weight of an object on Earth is the same as its mass, which is 1kg in this case. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
What would be the same on earth as the mooon weight or mass?
Mass
If you double the mass of an object on earth do you double its weight?
Yes. The weight is simply the mass, multiplied by the gravity.
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.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
What is the mass of 1200 mg?
At the surface of the earth, mass = weight, so 1200 mg weight = 1200 mg mass
What factors affect the weight of an object on Earth?
The weight of an object on Earth is influenced by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. Weight is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth). Therefore, variations in either mass or gravity can affect an object's weight on Earth.
