Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?
Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.
How does the weight of the mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
mass is constant 2kg on earth is 2kg on the moon. Weight depends on gravity. W = mg where g is grav. acceleration. Since gravity is less on the moon, then weight is less on the moon for the same object
Why would an object transported from earth to the moon have the same mass but different weight?
Gravity is different on the earth than it is on the moon. An object will weigh more on Earth since there is more gravitational pull on the object. However, mass isn't dependent on gravity, and in physics, the formula for Weight is W = ma. This means weight is dependent on the acceleration that an object has in a downward direction, and in this case, we would be focusing on gravitational acceleration that is applied to the object.
How would mass and weight be similar and different in the moon and earth?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass is constant, regardless on the acceleration due to gravity of different planets. So, if someone were to compare their mass on Earth and on the Moon, it would be the same, because the amount of matter in object would not change. However, weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object. If you were to weigh yourself on Earth and on the Moon, you'd weigh much less on the Moon since there is less acceleration due to gravity. Recall that acceleration due to gravity on Earth is -9.81m/s^2.
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
What is the rate at which an object velocity changes?
Acceleration
Is velocity the same as acceleration?
No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity.
The rate of change in an object's velocity is the object's what?
The rate of change in an object's velocity is the object's acceleration. It is a vector quantity that describes how quickly the velocity of an object is changing with time.
A change in indicates the acceleration of an object.?
No, a change in velocity indicates the acceleration of an object. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?
Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.
What is the rate at which the speed of an object changes?
The change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. The formula is:a = F/m where a is acceleration, m is the mass, and F is the force acting on the object.
If an object falls with constant acceleration the velocity of the object must?
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
What is the velocity of an object is the rate of change?
Acceleration.
Is the rate at which an object changes velocity?
No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.
What is the difference between speed and acceleration in phisycs?
Speed is the rate at which an object is moving, while acceleration is the rate at which an object's speed is changing. Speed is a scalar quantity (only magnitude), while acceleration is a vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction).
Why objects of different masses falling in the moon accelerate at the same rate?
Objects of different masses accelerate at the same rate on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is constant for all objects, regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so the acceleration is the same for all objects.
Is velocity the same as acceleration?
No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. In other words, acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing.
