Amount of space taken up by an object?
The amount of space taken up or occupied by an object is its volume.
What is the amount of space occupied by an object?
The answer is volume
What is the space that a gas takes up called?
The space that a gas takes up is called its volume.
Is volume a property of an object or the matter that makes it up?
volume is the amount of space a object occupies therefore it is a property
What word is used to describe the amount of space matter takes up?
The other way of saying this is "what is the volume occupied by the substance".
Can an object have zero weight?
Yes, weight depends on the gravity of the planet. The weight of an object is different on a planet with a different gravity. An object has zero weight in outer space. No! An object does not have zero weight in outer space. Why? Because gravity exists in outer space.
What is the value of acceleration due to gravity in space?
The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of the object toward which you're attracted by gravity, and on your distance from it. There are trillions of different possibilities in space.
Is it better to use volume or mass?
It depends what you are calculating. Volume is the amount of space on object occupies; mass is the amount of matter in an object.
What characteristics of an object remains constant regardless of a change in gravity?
The mass of an object remains constant regardless of a change in gravity. This means that an object will have the same amount of matter whether it is on Earth, the Moon, or in space.
Amount of space taken up by an object?
The amount of space taken up or occupied by an object is its volume.
What is the amount of space and object?
The amount of space occupied by an object is called its VOLUME.
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
Weight is the force generated by gravity pulling an object towards the center of the Earth. An object's weight depends on its mass and the strength of the gravitational force acting upon it. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while weight is the force exerted on that mass due to gravity.
How come an asteroid have gravity but the space shuttle does not?
Technically all objects have gravity, however, an object's gravity depends on its mass. In order for its gravity to be noticeable an object must have a very large mass. The space shuttle weighs a couple thousand tons, which is not enough for there to be noticeable gravity. Many asteroids have masses of millions to trillions of tons.
Differentiate mass from weight?
Mass will always remain constant. Mass depends on how much stuff there is. Also, we measure Mass in kilograms (Kg) but we measure weight in Newtons, (N). Weight, always depends on where you are. The weight of an object will be different on Earth, compared to Mars, or just space. The formula for the weight of an object is: F=ma where 'F' is the weight, 'm' is the mass, and 'a' is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet in question. Ex.) My mass is 75.0 Kg, what is my weight? (the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81) F=ma F=75.0 kg * 9.81 N/Kg F=736 N
Does an objects weight change in space?
An object's weight is determined by the force of gravity acting on it. In space, where gravity is significantly weaker or absent, an object's weight would be different than on Earth. However, the object's mass (amount of matter in it) remains constant regardless of its location.
What is the amount of space that matter in an object?
The amount of space that matter in an object occupies is its volume.
Why does an object changes weight in outer space and why would the mass stay the same?
Because the mass is the amount of matter that makes up the object. That doesn'tdepend on where the object is located.The weight of an object is the force of gravity that attracts the object to other masses.The bigger and closer the other mass is, the stronger the force is, so the greater is theobject's weight.
