Force and weight are different for the fact that force is the energy applied and weight is the mass or heaviness of an object

Why is weight different from mass because weight depends on the force of gravity?

Yes because it had a force of gravity


What is the force that makes your weight change on different planets?

Gravity


Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?

A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.


What causes the weight of an object?

The weight of an object is caused by the gravitational force acting on it. The weight of an object is the force exerted by gravity on the mass of the object. It is measured in units of force, such as pounds or newtons.


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.


Weight is the measure of the force of what?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on a person. This is why, when you visit another planet that has a different gravitational pull, you may weight more or less because gravity has less effect on you.


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.


Why force required to move box of same weight changes in case of different surfaces in contact?

Force required to move a box of the same weight changes in the case of different surfaces in contact due to friction.


Is your weight different at different altitude?

Yes, your weight can vary slightly at different altitudes due to the change in gravitational force. At higher altitudes, the gravitational force is slightly weaker, so you may weigh slightly less compared to when you are at sea level.


An objects buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.


What is defined as weight?

Weight is a force that is measured in newtons (N). It is the force of the gravitational pull on you from the planet (or even moon) you are on. This is why your weight changes when going to different planets or to the moon.


Are weight and normal force action-reaction pairs?

No, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass. Normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. They are not action-reaction pairs as they act on different objects - weight acts on the object itself, while the normal force acts on the surface supporting the object.
