Why does an object on the moon weigh less than it does on earth even though its mass does not change?
Your mass is a measure of how much matter you're made up out of. That does not change if you go to the moon (or elsewhere). Your weight is the product of your mass AND the mass of the planet (body) you're standing on ---- divided by the distance between the two --- and the moon masses much less than the Earth. Another way of putting this is your weight is your mass multiplied by the gravitational pull, so Weight = Mass x Gravitational Pull Now, considering that the gravity of an object depends on its mass, and as said before, the Earth's mass is far greater than the moon's, the gravitation pull of the Earth (Equal to roughly 9.8 N/kg) is greater than that of the moon (Roughly 1.6 N/kg) So say someone's mass is 80kg, their weight (on Earth would be) Weight = 80 x 9.8 This means their weight is 784 Newtons on Earth, where as on the moon their would weigh Weight = 80 x 1.6 And they would weigh 128N. Hope this helps.
Is it true your mass on earth is the same on the moon?
Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.
What explain the difference between the mass and the weight of an object?
weight is how heavy an object is; and mass is how much volume an object holds Answer 2 No, the mass is not how much volume ..... Volume and mass are not the same thing. Volume is its size measured in say cubic centimetres or cubic inches, whereas mass is measured in tons or pounds. The difference between mass and weight is that the mass does not change but the weight does (e.g. in outer space an object will have no weight but its mass will still be the same). The effect of this difference is, for example, a body in space may weigh nothing but it will still be able to resist a change in motion (i.e. it has inertia).
Do you have more weight on earth or on Jupiter?
you would weigh more on jupiter!! my source is from //home.netcom.com/~sbyers11/grav11.htm to find your exact weight go to http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/ .
Will your mass be the same on Pluto and on earth?
Yes. Mass is a measure of matter. If you were to go to Pluto, you would still have the matter that you're made up of. The difference in the gravitational force of Pluto and that of Earth would affect your weight, but not your mass.
What are science facts about weight?
you can measure weight by a scale. weight could change from place to place like if you go to the moon you will weigh less because there is less gravitational pull on you. it basically depends on mass and mass is the amount of matter an object is made of. mass does not change so on the moon your mass does not change it's your weight that changes
Why is your mass here on earth different from your mass on the moon?
It isn't. Mass is a measure of how much matter something contains, and that doesn't change as you travel - apart from eating, drinking, sweating, going to the toilet etc. Weight OTOH is what you get when gravity pulls at your mass. So if you go someplace where gravity is different than Earth's, your weight will change.
Why do you have less weight when you go to the moon?
Weight is the force of gravity between you and the Earth, pulling you together. The moon, which is much smaller than Earth, has less mass so gravity isn't as strong. Therefore, the force between you and the moon will be less.
If you go on a diet do you change your weight or mass?
When you go on a diet, you are aiming to change your weight. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on your mass, whereas mass remains constant and is a measure of the amount of matter in your body.
Does a scale show weight or mass?
It shows the weight, however, by convention we graduate the scale in mass units. The scale is assuming that you are standing on Earth. When you step on a scale the gravity pulls you down, which is called weight. Weight is based on the gravity force. Mass is the amount of stuff inside your body. Which won't change because of gravity. If you go to the moon your weight will be less because the moon has less gravity. Mass will stay the same. Unless you lose one your body parts while on the trip to the moon.
How does your amount of matter change when you go to the moon?
Your mass does not change, but your weight does. This is because weight is a measure of the gravimetric attraction between bodies of matter. Because the moon is less massive than the earth and therefor has a smaller amount of gravity, you will weigh less on the moon.
What does weight and mass mean?
mass is the amount of stuff in something. density is how tight,compact,and squished together something is. volume is the amount of space something takes up.the volume of a 3-D CUBE(sphere ETC.) is lengthxwidthxhight. mass======== density x volume. weight=mass x GRAVITY.GRAVITY is in there because:::::::::go to moon,less gravity on moon,same mass(you)=less weight.Weight is the force due to gravity of some object. Weight is measured in newtons, but many people confuse that with kilograms. Mass is the amount of some object, measured in kilograms, that is independent of gravity.
How fast can a scooter go with or without weight?
scotter can accelarate more when there is less weight but if more weight it will accelrate at less pace
Does the mass of an object affect its weight?
yes and no. its like a pice of cardboard the size of a house and a brick the size of a house . same mass diff weight or it can go 1000lbs of feathers and 1000lbs of bricks. both weight the same but the mass of feathers will be alot more than the bricks _Newman
Would a person's weight and mass be the same on the moon?
Weight would be different because the moon has less gravity then the earth. (astronauts can jump higher on the moon) Mass would be the same. I do not lose any mass if i go to the moon unless, you cut my arm off.
Can you lose weight without losing mass?
Not while remaining on the surface of this planet. If you go into space, your mass will not change - but your weight will become zero.
