The weight of one kilogram of mass is the least on Mercury. This is because Mercury has a lower gravitational pull compared to other planets in the solar system, resulting in a smaller weight for the same mass. While weight varies with gravity, the mass remains constant at one kilogram.
Weight is measured in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, and 1000 kilograms in 1 tonne.
grams Correction: The gram is a unit of mass, not weight. The kilogram, not the gram, is the base unit of mass. The SI unit for weight is the newton, but it's a derived unit calculated using mass and gravitational pull.
kilogram is the SI unit for mass and weight, as said it measures the weight or mass.
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.
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.
Weight or mass.
No. Kilogram is a unit of mass, not of weight.
A kilogram (mass) on the moon is still a kilogram (mass)A kilogram (referred to as its weight) is about 1/6 of it's Earth weight or 160 g (approx)Aside: In common usage we talk about an object having a weight, not a mass (e.g. Your driver's license states your weight). In science a kilogram is a unit of mass. Weight is what we perceive when we try to lift that mass - it is the force of gravity pulling the kilogram mass to the Earth. It gets a bit confusing when you are at Earth's surface because a the kilogram mass has a numerically kilogram of force (usually referred to as weight) attracting it downwards.
1 kilogram is the mass of about 441dimes.
The SI unit of mass is the kilogram. Actually, while the SI unit of mass is the kilogram, mass and weight are different; weight is ALWAYS measured in NEWTONS (n)!
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.
weight = mass x gravity. On the surface of planet Earth, gravity is about 9.8 in SI units (9.8 meters/second2, equivalent to 9.8 newton/kilogram).
weight = mass x gravity. On the surface of planet Earth, gravity is about 9.8 in SI units (9.8 meters/second2, equivalent to 9.8 newton/kilogram).
To change weight to mass, you need to divide the weight by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight takes into account the force of gravity acting on that mass.
A kilogram is a unit of mass, not weight. In Earth's standard gravity, a kilogram mass weighs about 9.8 Newtons.
Mass. NOT weight.
No. Kilogram is a unit of mass only. Weight is measured in units of force; the SI unit for force is the Newton.
