Yes. For most purposes, weight is a constant multiple of mass.

Does gravity affect weight?

Yes it affects weight, but not mass.


How does going to the moon affect mass and weight?

The person's weight is 0 kg. and the mass will be some thing but i don't knowThanks.


How does weight and mass affect friction?

Weight affects friction by increasing the force pressing the surfaces together, resulting in more friction. Mass does not directly affect friction, but it influences the normal force, which in turn affects friction. Generally, higher weight or mass leads to higher friction.


Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?

A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.


What factors affect the weight of an object on Earth?

The weight of an object on Earth is influenced by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. Weight is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth). Therefore, variations in either mass or gravity can affect an object's weight on Earth.


How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?

Gravity affects an object's weight, which is the force of gravity acting on its mass. The mass of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its weight can change depending on the strength of gravity. In areas with stronger gravity, objects will weigh more compared to areas with weaker gravitational pull.


Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?

yes


How does halving a sample affect the weight of the sample?

If the sample is homogeneous, then half of its volume has half of its mass and half of its weight.


If energy has mass and mass has weight do we weigh more when we have lots of energy?

The idea is not that energy 'has' mass. The idea is that mass and energy can be directly related to one another in an equation. Also, mass does not always have weight; you can weigh a mass only when the mass is in a gravitational field. Having lots of 'energy' has no affect on your weight. The above stated answer is partly wrong because Einsteins E=MC2 equation qualitatively states that energy in reality does have mass. It is only that the speed of light is so great in term's of numerical value that any change in energy would not effectively affect your total mass. However weight is simply a force so you can not say that if my mass increases on earth i would have the same weight as on the moon for the same weight.


What is the diffrerence between mass and weight?

Mass is constant. You have the same amount of mass wherever you are in the Universe. Weight is the affect of gravity acting on your mass. So you weigh 1/6th as much on the Moon because there is less gravity there but you have the same amount of mass as you do on Earth.


How does the size of a planet affect the mass of a person?

It does not. Mass is independent of where an object is. Weight, however, will vary in direct proportion to the planet's gravity.


Does weight affect the ammount of kinetic energy in an moving object?

Not weight - mass. On Earth the two are proportional, but it is better not to confuse the two.
