No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.

Does gravity depend on mass or weight?

Gravity depends on the mass of an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. So, weight depends on both an object's mass and the strength of gravity acting on it.


What factors does the weight of an object depend?

Mass and gravity


What is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?

The more mass an object has, the more gravity acts on it. Mass actually is known to affect weight because they both depend on each other. =============================== HONK! Beulah the Buzzer has an objection to raise. Mass does not depend on weight. "Weight" is the name we give to the gravitational force acting on a mass.


On what factors does the weight of an object depend?

Gravity and Mass


What two factors does the weight of an object depend?

The weight of an object depends on its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The weight of an object can be calculated using the equation: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.


Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?

Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.


Is a mass or weight determined by gravity?

[ Mass ] is a property of the object, and doesn't depend on the presence or strength of gravity.[ Weight ] is the result of gravity, and changes depending on the local strength of gravity.


What are the 3 factors of weight?

The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.


What two thing does weight depend on?

Weight depends on an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity.


Does weight depend on matter?

Sort of.Mass is an inherent property of matter.Weight is the measurement of the strength of the pull of a gravity field on a mass.Thus a 1 Kg mass will weigh 1Kg on Earth but only 1/3 Kg on the Moon where the Moons gravity is only 1/3 of that of Earth.Thus mass does relate to weight and as mass is a property of matter weight does depend on matter.


The mass of an object is fixed but its weight varies from location to location?

The mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location, as it is a measure of the amount of matter in the object. Weight, on the other hand, varies with the strength of the gravitational field at different locations. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is given by the equation Weight = mass x gravity.


How are weight and mass affected by gravity?

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it depends on the mass of the object and the strength of the gravitational field. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the gravitational field. So, weight changes with gravity, but mass does not.
