No, magnets are not heavier than the objects they attract. The attraction between a magnet and an object is not due to weight but rather to magnetic forces.

Why are some objects heavier than others?

Objects are heavier than others due to differences in their mass and density. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while density is how compact that matter is. Objects with higher mass or higher density will be heavier than those with lower mass or lower density.


Do heavier objects have a higher density than lighter objects?

Not necessarily. Density is determined by the mass of an object compared to its volume. Heavier objects may have a higher density if they are more compacted, but lighter objects can also have a high density if they are very compacted or have a smaller volume.


Why is A heavier objects harder to accelerate than a lighter object?

A heavier object has more mass than the lighter object.The acceleration of any object is (force on the object) divided by (the object's mass).A = F/MAs this simple fraction shows, if equal forces were applied to many different objects, you'd immediately see that the smaller an object's mass is, the moreacceleration results.


Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?

No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.


Do magnets have more force when they repel or attract?

The repel force is mostly a little stronger than the attraction. I have succeeded of doing this and the answer I found is repel force. (Some stupid people says that they have equal force but they're wrong)

Can magnets pull more than their own mass?

Of course., they can.. What matters is how much is magnetic power (being more specific, electrically magnetic flux.). The attraction between two magnets is tremendously high with higher flux density magnets. (if you are more interested to know about, can browse for neodymium magnets!).


Is big magnets stronger than small magnets?

No.You should find how much it can attract other things.

Do positive and negative magnets attract or positive and positive or negative and negative?

polar opposites attract. that's where the phrase "opposites attract" comes from.AnswerThere are no such things as 'positive' or 'negative' magnets, other than in the minds of magnetic therapists who seem to have very little scientific knowledge of magnetism! Magnetic poles, not magnets, are named after the directions in which the point when freely suspended -i.e. north and south.


Why do lighter objects fly slower than heavier objects?

they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!


In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects A True b false?

Faulse


Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?

Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.


Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?

They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.


Why do heavy objects sink in water?

Objects sink in water because they are denser than water, not necessarily because they are heavier.


Why do some objects float and others do not?

because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink


Are objects heavier on Venus' or Mars?

They are heavier on Venus due to it's larger mass.

Not necessarily. Density is determined by the mass of an object compared to its volume. Heavier objects may have a higher density if they are more compacted, but lighter objects can also have a high density if they are very compacted or have a smaller volume.
