What else can I help you with?
Why would your weight change if you orbited earth in a space shuttle but mass would not?
Your weight would decrease because the gravitational force acting on you would be lower due to the increased distance from Earth's center. However, your mass would remain the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change based on location.
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
How would your present weight change if earth had twice the mass that it does now?
It would double.
Does your weight change if you travel to Jupiter?
Your weight would change if you traveled to Jupiter due to its strong gravitational pull. Jupiter has a higher gravitational force than Earth, so you would weigh more on Jupiter compared to Earth.
Would your weight change if you went on the moon?
Good question. Yes, your weight would change, but your mass would not. People often confuse weight with mass.If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on Earth is 500N - weight is a force, and it is equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity.Because the force of gravity on the moon is much less, about 1/6 of that on Earth, your weight would be about 80N. Your mass, however, would still be 50kg.
Why would your weight would change if you orbited the earth in the space shuttle but your mass would not?
Mass is the amount of material that you are comprised of, whereas weight is how heavy that mass is in the level of gravity where it resides.
Why would your weight change if you orbited earth in a space shuttle but mass would not?
Your weight would decrease because the gravitational force acting on you would be lower due to the increased distance from Earth's center. However, your mass would remain the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change based on location.
What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
What would happen if the earth orbited the sun exactly the same way as the moon orbited the earth?
allways one half of earth only will get sunlight
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.
What would Earth's orbit be if it orbited 96 percent closer to the sun than it does?
If Earth orbited 96% closer than it currently does, its orbit would be, on average, 3.72 million miles (6 million km).
What is one way that conditions on earth would change if earth orbited more closely to the sun?
The climates everywhere would heat up and global warming will melt places like Antarctica at a more rapid speed.
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 you weigh 100kg and went to the moon which has 16 the gravity of earth would your weight change?
yes it would change
How would your present weight change if earth had twice the mass that it does now?
It would double.
How would your weight change on the surface of an Earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth's?
It would be greater.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth?
It would be greater.
