What else can I help you with?
Does gravity have an affect on mass?
No. Mass (e.g. grams) is a measure of matter, and is independent of gravity. Weight (e.g. pounds) is a measure of force and is directly related to gravity.
The force produce by gravity acting on mass is known as?
The force produced by gravity acting on mass is known as weight. It is the force exerted by gravity on an object due to its mass. Weight is a force measured in newtons and is directly proportional to an object's mass.
What do you use a balance to measure?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it with the mass of known weights. It helps determine the weight of an object by measuring the force of gravity acting on it.
EXPLAIN the difference between the mass of an object and the weight of an object No definitions?
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.
What is the metric unit of weight or mass?
Metric unit of mass is Kilogram and that of weight is Newton. Hope I am not wrong You are not wrong. A Newton is a unit of FORCE and weight is the force of gravity acting upon a mass. Mass is the quantity of matter in something. Gravity acts upon a mass and the force of gravity acting upon it is called it's weight. Why make a distinction you may ask? Because the force of gravity is different in different places on our planet. The weight of a mass on the moon would be a lot less than it's weight on earth because gravity on the moon pulls down with a lot less force than gravity on our earth. This concept is very important to scientists and Physicists and Engineers, when they make calculations.
Is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
Is a measure of the effect has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
What is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
The more mass an object has, the more gravity acts on it. Mass actually is known to affect weight because they both depend on each other. =============================== HONK! Beulah the Buzzer has an objection to raise. Mass does not depend on weight. "Weight" is the name we give to the gravitational force acting on a mass.
What property of matter does gravity act upon?
Mass is the property of matter on which gravity act upon.
Mass or weight.Which is dependent upon gravity?
Weight is dependent upon gravity, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting on it. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, causing it to have a different value depending on the strength of the gravitational field.
Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
Is mass or weight the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight depends on both the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.
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.
Does gravity have an affect on mass?
No. Mass (e.g. grams) is a measure of matter, and is independent of gravity. Weight (e.g. pounds) is a measure of force and is directly related to gravity.
Is mass the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
No, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on it. The weight of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity.
Do instruments that measure mass make use of gravity?
Yes, instruments that measure mass usually rely on gravity to function. They measure the force of gravity acting on an object to determine its mass. The mass of an object is directly proportional to the force of gravity acting on it.
What do scientists measure in grams?
Mass. Weight is measured in Newtons. Weight is the force of gravity acting upon a mass. The actual SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). A gram is just a subdivision of a kilogram.
