Gravity is the force that gives an object weight. Weight is merely a measure of the amount of force gravity exerts upon an object. Weight is not the same as mass, although these two terms are frequently used interchangably. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains. Weight is the gravitational force that acts upon that mass. To get weight from mass, you must multiply the mass by the gravitational constant, on earth, this is 9.8 meters per second squared, or 32 feet per second squared, depending on which measurement system you use. Hope this helps!

What is wind speed measured in?
Wind Speed Is measured In Knots.No, a wind vane only gives wind direction. Wind speed is measure with an anemometer.
Does a hibernal wind make you hide or give you a chill?
a hibernal wind gives you a chill
An air mass takes on its source region's?
coulds and wind
What are the five main types of deposition?
waves glaciers gravity mass wind
A windchill chart tells you?
The windchill index gives the equivalent temperature of the cooling power of wind on exposed flesh. how strong the wind is blowing
What gives wind mass?
Hello! Air molecules that float in our sky give wind its mass.
What is a wind mass?
hello peps! wind mass is some sort of a wind that spins around!! this is also something to do with history as well
What do you call movement of the air?
It is called wind.
What does the weighing machine gives as output. Mass or Weight. What is the common man's mass?
It gives your weight.
Can you measure the wind with a wind sock?
The appearance of the wind sock gives a broad approximation to the wind speed, and a pretty good indication of the wind direction.

Does a hibernal wind make you hide or give you a chill?
a hibernal wind gives you a chill
Who gives arjun the gandiva?
vayu or the god of wind gives the gandiva ( bow ) to arjun
What is the importance of wind and water?
it gives us life
What gives waves their energy?
Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.
Do stars lose mass while they give off energy?
Yes! The energy they give off have an equivalent mass, and this mass is lost to the star. This follows from (a) the equivalence between mass and energy, and (b) conservation of mass. As an example, our Sun, which gives off tremendous amounts of light, loses 4 million tonnes a second, just through the light that leaves the Sun - that is, apart from any solar wind.
Why can the movement of water create more energy than the movement of wind?
Greater mass of waves. Force = Mass * Acceleration so where Acceleration is the same, Mass(wave) > Mass (wind), the force of waves is much greater, thusly waves have more "potential". You can also use E=MC^2 Energy = Mass * speed of light squared. Mass(wave) > Mass (wind), more energy in waves. <<>> I would guess that the total energy in the wind over the world is more than the energy in waves in all the oceans. That is because waves occur in a thin layer at the top of the water, while the wind blows everywhere at all heights.
