Although generally accepted as synonymous, mass and weight are not scientifically the same things. While mass may be defined as the amount of matter in a body, weight is actually a force that arises due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. While mass remains practically constant under normal conditions, the weight changes as the gravitational pull changes. If a bag of groceries has a mass of 10kg, then it's weight maybe calculated using the relation W=m*g (* denotes multiplication), where W is the weight (to be found), m is the mass (=10kg in this case) and 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity whose value on earth surface is approximately 9.8m/s2. This value is practically constant on the earth surface but varies with height and depth. On the moon it's value is 1/6 of the value on earth. Thus the weight of the bag on earth works out to be 9.8*10=98N. N stands for Newton after the scientist who gave the concept of force. It is the unit of force in the S.I system and it's value equals 1kg*m/s2.
What else can I help you with?
What is the mass of 10kg?
98 Newtons.
How does the conservation of mass help us daily?
The conservation of mass helps us understand that mass cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. This principle is essential in various daily activities such as cooking (where ingredients combine to form new dishes), waste management (recycling materials to reduce waste), and understanding environmental processes (such as nutrient cycling in ecosystems).
If 10 bags weigh 0.5 grams how much does 1 bag weigh?
Mass is measured in grams, not weight.
What is the mass and weight of a 10-kg object on Earth?
10 kilograms is the mass. To calculate the weight (in newtons), multiply the mass by 9.8.
How many cups are in a five lb bag of flour?
It would come out to about 10 cups. You should measure weight when baking! Cups is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight and mass. You can not directly convert the two.
How much does a dime bag weight out too?
Dime Meaning 10.. $10= 1 Gram. ;)
Does mass and weight are proportional to one another?
Yes, weight is directly proportional to mass, on earth weight = mass X 9.8 or sometimes it is simplified to 10, the unit for weight is newtons (N)
What is the best estimate of the weight of a large bag of flour?
Most flour comes in a 5 pound bag or a 10 pound bag.
What is the maximum weight limit for a carry-on bag on this airline?
The maximum weight limit for a carry-on bag on this airline is typically 7-10 kg (15-22 lbs).
If 10 bags weigh 0.5 how much does 1 bag weight?
.05
If a blocks weight is 10 Newton's what is its mass?
At the earth's surface, a block with a force of 10 newtons has a mass of 1.02kg
How many grams in a bag of flour?
depends on the size of the bag
