Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object; it does not depend on gravity. The mass of 2.0 kg of gold is 2.0 kg no matter where the gold is, so on a planet with three time the gravity, the mass would still be 2.0 kg.

What is the weight of body of mass 20kg on earth?

On Earth, 20kg is 196 newtons or 44.1 lbs.


What is the weight of a 20kg box on earth in newtons?

The weight of a 20kg box on Earth is approximately 196.2 Newtons. This is calculated by multiplying the mass (20kg) by the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (9.81 m/s^2).


Is 20kg of lead heavier than 20kg of feather in vacuum?

No, 20kg of lead and 20kg of feathers would have the same mass in vacuum since both are 20kg. Gravity does not affect mass.


What is the weight in newton of a 20 kg mass on earth and the moon?

The equation to determine the weight of a body on the earth or moon is a modification of Newton's second law, W = mg, where W is weight in Newtons, m is mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s2.Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 9.8m/s2. A 20kg mass on the earth would weigh W = 20kg x 9.8m/s2 = 196N.Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is 1.63m/s2. A 20kg mass on the moon would weigh W = 20kg x 1.63m/s2 = 32.6N.


Does the planet Earth have the property of mass?

yes the earth does have a mass because it also is affected by gravity, the gravity from the sun


How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater than earth why?

Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.


If an object had a mass of 20kg what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth?

If an object with a mass of 20 kg is on the surface of the earth or near it, then the object and the earth are attracting each other with a force of 196 newtons (44.1 pounds).

What is the weight on the planet?

The weight of an object on a planet depends on the planet's gravity and the mass of the object. The formula to calculate weight is Weight = Mass x Gravity. So, weight on a planet will be different from the weight on Earth depending on the planet's gravity.


If a planet has 4 times the density but half the diameter of earth is it's gravity stronger or less?

No, the gravity of this planet will not be greater than that of earth. If the new planet has a mass equal to that of earth, its total gravity will be the same. There is a little ambiguity regarding 4 times earth density and half the earth's diameter if the idea is to keep the mass of this proposed planet the same as the earth. But setting that aside and assuming that the mass of the new planet is the same as earth's, the gravimetric field will be the same. Gravity is proportional to mass, and identical mass yields identical gravity. Now to the good part! The surface gravity of the new planet will be considerably higher than the surface gravity of earth. Both planets have the same mass and the same gravity, but a person standing on the surface of the new planet will be experiencing a whole lot more force pulling on him. All the mass of the new planet is beneath this person, but he's a lot closer to the center of gravityand will weigh a whole lot more.


Dan has a mass of 55 kg on Earth. What is his mass on a planet that has twice Earth's gravity?

Dan's mass is the same as it is on Earth. His weight, however, is doubled.


Does planet Mars have gravity?

Yes it does but not as much as earth does. Every object that has mass also has gravity.
