The weight that registers when you step on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of what?
The weight registered on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of gravity. Gravity exerts a force on your body mass, causing it to be pulled downwards. This force is measured as weight when you step on a scale.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
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 gravitational force between the earth and a body called?
The gravitational force between the Earth and a body is called weight. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
Compare your mass and weight on Earth with your mass and weight on an asteroid which is much smaller than Earth?
My mass is always the same, no matter where I am or what I am doing. My weight, however, depends on other masses in my environment. You have said that the asteroid is much smaller than Earth, but you haven't said a thing about its mass, which is roughly just as important as its size. Most likely, I weigh much less there than I do on Earth, but I can't guarantee that. If the asteroid has enough mass packed into that slender body, I could easily wind up weighing more there than on Earth.
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).
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.
Is 20kg lead in a vacuum heavier than 20kg feather in a vacuum?
No. Weight = mass x gravity, so for the same mass, you get the same weight.
If an object has a mass of 20kg on earth what is the mass of the object on moon?
The mass on the moon will remain the same, 20 kg If the object's mass is 20 kg, then it's 20 kg. On Earth, on the moon, on Mars, or floating weightless in a space ship coasting from one of them to another. Weight depends on where you are, but mass doesn't.
How do mass and weight relate?
Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.
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 of 20 kg in object in Newtons?
The weight of a 20 kg object is equivalent to 196.2 Newtons on Earth (weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity, where acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2).
The weight that registers when you step on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of what?
The weight registered on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of gravity. Gravity exerts a force on your body mass, causing it to be pulled downwards. This force is measured as weight when you step on a scale.
What force is required to hold up an object of mass 20kg?
The force required to hold up an object of mass 20kg is equal to its weight, which is 20kg multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (around 9.8 m/s^2). Therefore, the force required is approximately 196 newtons.
What will happen to mass and weight of a body on earth if suddenly gravitational attraction of the earth disappeared?
Your mass would be unaffected, it is simply to do with the atoms in your body. Your weight would be reduced to zero as that is simply how much your body is affected by gravity.
What is weight of a body of mass 1 kg on earth?
W=mg
What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?
The mass of the body remains the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which does not change. However, the weight of the body will be different on the moon compared to Earth, as weight depends on the gravitational pull on an object. The gravitational force on the moon is around 1/6th of that on Earth, so the body will weigh approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth when on the moon.
