Well, mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object; weight is a measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. Your mass is the same wherever you are--on Earth, on the moon, floating in space--because the amount of stuff you're made of doesn't change. But your weight depends on how much gravity is acting on you at the moment; you'd weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in interstellar space you'd weigh almost nothing at all.
Mass measures the amount of something. Weight is dependent on the pull of gravity. On the moon, for example, there is less gravitational pull than on Earth, so an object that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh less on the moon. Jupiter has a greater gravitation pull than Earth, so the object would weigh more there. Because mass is not dependent on gravity, it is just a measure of the amount of matter something is made up of, an object with a mass of 100 grams on Earth would have the same mass on the moon, and it would have the same mass anywhere else.
What else can I help you with?
How is measuremen of weight different from measurement of mass?
a scale
Why can an object have the same mass on different planets but its weight could be different?
Mass takes up space, so it will take up the same amount no matter where you are. Weight is dependent on the force of gravity pushing you to the ground. With different forces of gravity on each planet your weight will differ.
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.
In the metric system weight is a?
Weight is measured in the metric system using the unit of mass called the kilogram (kg). It is important to note that weight and mass are different concepts, where weight is the force created by gravity acting on an object's mass.
Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight?
Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight? Let's look at the question without one bit of it..... "Do all rocks weigh the same if they have ......... .... ... the same weight?" If things are the same weight, then they weigh the same.
How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it
Why is weight different from mass?
Well mass is different from weight in one major way. Mass is how easily something can lift more than weight being how heavy an object is. For example a balloon has mass, but a person carries weight.
Is The weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume.?
weight is different in different gavities but mass is not, volume is not involved
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.
Is weight stronger mass?
Weight and mass are fundamentally different things, and they are measured in different units (newton, versus kilograms). Weight is caused by mass, but it also depends on gravity. The formula is: weight = gravity x mass Mass also causes inertia.
When are mass and weight the same?
Mass and weight are different notions in a correct physics terminology.
Does an scalene triangle have 3 acute angles?
Yes but of different measurments
What are three diffent things between mass and weight?
1). Mass doesn't depend on what else is nearby, but weight does. 2). Mass doesn't change when it goes to different planets, but weight does. 3). Mass and weight are measured in different units and have different physical dimensions. 4). Weight is widely understood by nearly everybody, but mass isn't.
Can a dieting person lose mass?
number 1. of course they can what do you think they are going to lose hair? err no number 2. nobody likes a smart ass. mass is only used in scientific measurments. when dieting and in the real world it's called weight
How is weight from mass?
They are different because mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, weight is the quantity of heaviness.
What's the deference from weight?
Weight is different from mass because it is a a scalar quantity whereas mass is a vector.
How is weight different from massAND how is weight measured?
weight is measured by how much gravity is pushing down on you. weight is different from mass because mass is how much room you take up. weight is how much something or someone weighs.
