No.

Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity.

My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.

How do you find the mass of an animal?

Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?

No, mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains constant regardless of the location. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it can vary depending on the strength of gravity.


Does gravity have the same effect on weight as it does on mass?

Gravity affects weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity pulling it towards a center of mass, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight depends on both the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational field it is in, following the formula weight = mass x gravity.


Do two object with the same weight has the same mass?

If they are subjected to equal gravitational accelerations, YES !W1 = ( m1 ) ( g1 ) ------> m1 = W1 / g1W2 = ( m2 ) ( g2 ) -------> m2 = W2 / g2Since W1 = W2 ; m1 and m2 must be equal if g1 = g2.ANSWER : Yes if the gravitational accelerations are equal


What is a measurement of the force of gravity on the mass of an object?

That's what's usually called the object's "weight", at least on Earth.

What measurement is used more often by scientists mass or weight?

they are the same thing.


Does mass or weight stay the same when gravitational force changes?

Mass stays the same but weight does not. Mass is a measurement of how MUCH of an object there is, so a 5 Kilogram weight is still 5 Kilograms in space, even thought it would be weightless.


How is measurement of weight different from of mass?

Which term describes how much space a substance occupies? volume Not sure how that question relates to the one initially asked, but the answer to 'How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?' is weight includes the force of gravity. Weight Includes The Force Of Gravity (A+)Weight is the measurement of the force of gravity in relation to mass, while mass is the measurement of matter in an object.

Would a star have more mass or weight?

Mass and weight are the same thing. *Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.


How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?

Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it

Is mass a measure of force?

No Weight is a measurement of force... mass is not.

Measurement of gravity's effect on a mass?

Weight.


Which measurement your weight or mass would be the same when taken on Earth and on the Moon?

Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.


Difference between center of mass and center of gravity?

The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.
