What happens to the weight of an object if the mass increases?
Oh, dude, if the mass of an object increases, the weight also increases. It's like when you eat too many burgers and suddenly your weight goes up on the scale. So, yeah, more mass means more weight. It's just basic physics, man.
Why might scientists measure the mass of an object rather than the weight of an object?
The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.
What is the scientific word for weight?
weight is something that pull you down and this something is called gravety. gravety pull you down and this what mass in, really there is no difference between the two.
How do you calculate weight in newtons?
Weight in newtons equals mass in kg times gravity (which is 9.8 meters per second squared on earth) or W=m(9.8m/s/s)
What unit of measure would you use to measure would you use to measure height?
Weight is a measure of force that is dependent on the physical environment the object is in. For example: A rock on earth may weigh 50 newtons, but on the moon, due to there being less gravity, will weigh 20 newtons. Mass stays the same no matter what the environment the object is in, so a rock on Earth may weigh 100 kilograms, but on the moon it will weigh 100 kilograms as well. Units for Mass: Grams (g), Kilograms (kg), Pounds (lbs) etc. Units for Weight: Newtons (n)
What happens to the weight and mass of an object when the object is moved from earth to mars?
The mass always stays the same, but because gravity is 38% of Earth, weight is only 38 pounds for every 100 pounds on earth.
What does 100 grams mass weigh?
The mass of an object is unvarying. It's weight varies according to the gravitational force on the object. Weight = mass x gravity For a mass of 100 gms, which is 0.1 kg then its weight at the Earth's surface would be 0.1 x 9.78 Kg = 0.978 Newtons Its weight on the Moon would be a lot less and its weight in outer space would be virtually nil.
Does the mass of an object change whenever the weight of an object change?
The mass doesn't nessessarily change when weight does. The gravity may have changed. Mass and weight need some clarification. The mass of an object is measured in kilograms. That always remains constant. The weight of an object is measured in Newtons and is worked out by the product of the mass and the gravitational field strength, which on earth is 10. So someone with a mass of 50kg would have a weight on earth of (50 x 10) 500N. But a person with a mass of 100kg on a planet with half the gravity (100 x 5) would also have a weight of 500N.
Which of the following has more inertia than a 100 g object on Earth?
Any object that has a mass greater than 100 gram, will also have more inertia. By the way whether it is on Earth or not is irrelevant. If you take a 100-gram mass anywhere else, it will still have 100 gram; and the inertia (which depends on the mass) will also be the same.
How convert mass to weight?
You convert mass to weight by multiplying by the local acceleration due to gravity ...f = ma... where f is the force in newtons, mass is the mass in kilograms and a is the acceleration in meters per second squared. For the Earth, a is 9.81, so a mass of 100 kg has a weight of 981 newtons.It is "common" though erroneous to say that the "weight" of the 100 kg object is 100 kg. It is precisely correct to say the weight is 981 newtons, on the Earth, but we generally accept the implicit conversion for G=9.81 in the statement that the weight is 100 kg, just not on a physics test.
Are mass and weight the same thing?
No. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. For example, a rock that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about 17 pounds on the moon due to the weaker gravity, but its mass would be the same.
100g and a square what is the mass of it?
100 grams is its mass, whatever the shape.
Is the mass of an object the force of gravity acting upon it?
Weight is not a force. Weight is a phenomenon associated with a mass in a gravimetric field. It's actually the acceleration of a mass acted on by gravity, which is a force. A 100-pound rock would weigh nothing in deep space. It would be weightless. But the rock weighs 100 pounds on earth because of (mostly) the mass of the earth and also (just a tiny bit) because of the mass of the rock.
What will an object weigh on the Moon's surface if it weighs 100Newtons on Earth's surface?
We know that the weight of any object = the mass of the object* g, [where g is the gravitational acceleration]. For any object the mass will be constant in any case. Though Einstein proved that if any object moves with the velocity greater than light it's mass will increase. But in this case the mass will not change. But the gravitational acceleration will change. It is proved that the gravitational acceleration of moon is 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration of the earth. So, the weight of the object on moon will be 100/6 newton=16.666(apporximately) newtons.
What is a probe weight on earth if the probe has a mass of 100 kg?
On earth, 100 kg of mass weighs 980 newtons (220.46 pounds).
If two objects have the same mass do they have the same weight?
No, mass is constant all over the earth and everywhere beyond that. Weight on the other hand is a function of mass which depends on the strength of the gravitational pull on the object. Since the gravitational pull from earth isn't constant, but is dependant on what position you are relative to its core, your weight can vary (though its unlikely to be a marked difference).
True or false an object has a mass of 100 grams it also has a weight of 100 oz?
False. Mass is a fundamental concept in physics, roughly corresponding to the intuitive idea of how much matter there is in an object. In everyday usage, mass is more commonly referred to as weight, but in physics and engineering, weight means the strength of the gravitational pull on the object; that is, how heavy it is, measured in units of force. In everyday situations, the weight of an object is proportional to its mass, which usually makes it unproblematic to use the same word for both concepts. Thus 100 grams would normally weigh 3.52739 oz (not 100 oz)To make a 100 gram mass weigh 100 oz you would need to increase the strength of gravity more than 28 times.
