Your weight, or any objects weight, is a function of your mass and the local gravitational force. Planets such as Mars and Mercury, or even the moon have much lower gravity, since these bodies are smaller and less massive. So your weight will be less, though your mass will remain the same. I will still be a 100kg man (my mass), but on Mercury I will weigh 38kg.
What else can I help you with?
If your weight changes from planet to planet but does your mass change to?
No, your mass does not change from planet to planet; it remains constant regardless of location. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass. Since different planets have different gravitational forces, your weight will vary depending on the planet, but your mass will stay the same.
What would happen to your mass and weight in a another planet?
Your mass would remain constant regardless of the planet you are on, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would change because weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass, which varies from planet to planet. For instance, on a planet with stronger gravity, you would weigh more, while on a planet with weaker gravity, you would weigh less.
Why is your weight less on some planets and greater on other planets?
Weight is determined by the gravitational pull of a planet. Planets with stronger gravitational forces will make you weigh more, while planets with weaker gravitational forces will make you weigh less. The difference in weight on different planets is due to variations in their mass and size.
What is the state of matter which weight doesnt change while its shapes can?
Liquids and gases can change shape without any change in weight.
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
If your weight changes from planet to planet but does your mass change to?
No, your mass does not change from planet to planet; it remains constant regardless of location. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass. Since different planets have different gravitational forces, your weight will vary depending on the planet, but your mass will stay the same.
Go to another planet will your mass change?
Your mass will remain the same regardless of the planet you are on. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass. So, your weight will change on a different planet due to differences in gravitational pull, but your mass will stay constant.
How is mass and weight are different?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the strength of gravity.
Can you lose weight without losing mass?
Not while remaining on the surface of this planet. If you go into space, your mass will not change - but your weight will become zero.
What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
An example is when an object is moved from one location to another where the gravitational pull is different. Weight is dependent on gravity, so a change in gravity would cause the weight of the object to change while its mass remains the same.
What would happen to your mass and weight in a another planet?
Your mass would remain constant regardless of the planet you are on, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body. However, your weight would change because weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass, which varies from planet to planet. For instance, on a planet with stronger gravity, you would weigh more, while on a planet with weaker gravity, you would weigh less.
What is Distinguish between mass and weight?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change based on the gravitational pull of a given planet or body. Mass is typically measured in grams or kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons.
How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?
Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.
What is the difference between mass and weight, and how is mass different from weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the gravitational pull of a particular location.
What is the difference between mass and weight, and how is mass different than weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the gravitational pull of a particular location.
What is the unit for weights?
Newtons (symbol: N).Do not confuse weight with mass (the unit of mass is the kilogram). Weight is the downward force exerted by a mass because of the pull of gravity.The unit of weight is Kg*m/s2Metric unit for mass is kilograms (kg), however weight is a different measurement defined as force that will act on the object due gravity of a given planet (so it measures in Newtons, N). On Earth your weight is almost the same as your mass (and that is not a coincidence) but on the other planet your mass will remain the same (say 70kg) while your weigh may change dramatically (depending on the gravity of the planet). In the free fall state your weight is zero.
Does mass or weight change on moon?
<p> Mass and weight are different physical quantities, Weight is dependent on the gravitational force which the planet on which the object is located applies, while mass is independent of this force, and is the actual 'matter content' of the object. There will be a change in weight of the object if taken on the moon, but the mass will remain unaffected. Mass 10kg implies: Weight (on Earth) = 10*9.8 = 98N As the gravitational force of moon is 1/6th pf that of earth, the weight of that object on Moon will be: 98* (1/6) = 98/6 = 16.33N *The mass will remain unchanged on the moon. </p>
