Weight is mass, when accelerated by a gravitational pull.

In space you are weightless, but still have mass.

The same object will weigh less at the top of a mountain, because there is slightly less gravity. It will still be the same object and therefore have the same unchanging mass.

Is weight and mass alike?

Weight is the measure of gravity that is holding you down. Mass is how much is being held down. Mass of a person will not change if suddenly they're transported to the moon. The weight, however, will because the pull of gravity is less. So they are related, but not alike.


Are weight and mass similar?

Weight and mass are related but not the same. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. Mass is constant, while weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity.

How are weight and mass similar?

Weight is how gravity is affecting the mass of an object. While mass stays the same no matter where it is, the weight of an object changes depending on how strong the gravity is where the object is. For example, you weigh less on the moon than you do on earth because earth is much bigger than the moon is, therefore the more gravity it has. :-D :O ;)


How is volume and mass different and alike?

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object. They are different because volume is related to the size of an object, while mass is related to its weight and density. However, they are alike in that both are physical properties that can be measured and are commonly used to characterize and compare objects.


What is the difference between mass and volume and how are they alike?

Mass and volume are not similar. Asking how they are alike is like asking how length and weight are alike: a string 100 yards long will weigh less than a fire hydrant, which is only three feet tall. If you have two objects made of the same material, the one occupying the greater volume will have the greater weight. But if two objects are made of different material, you can draw no conclusions form their volumes, because the smaller object -- that is, the one with less volume -- may actually have greater weight. If a small object has greater weight than a large one, we can conclude that it has greater density -- which is mass divided by volume.


How are mass and weight simliar?

Actually they are nothing alike; they are two terms meaning totally different things. "Mass" is the amount of matter in an object, measured in grams and kilograms. "Weight" on the other hand refers to the force of gravity acting on an object, typically measured in N/kg. It is just that we say "weight" in everyday use when actually we should talk about "mass".

If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?

The weight of an object of mass 2m is 2mg. Weight is directly proportional to mass, so if you double the mass, you double the weight.


Is mass and weight a force?

Mass and weight are not forces.But weight or a pull of gravity of an object with mass has force


Does air have weight?

Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.
