Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.
Weight depends on an object's location because it is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location.
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force between two objects (normally the Earth and whatever it is we're weighing). It is directly proportional to mass, so yes: two objects of different mass will have different weights when measured under the same conditions.(Scientists like mass rather than weight because mass doesn't change with location. A 1 kg mass on Earth will still be 1 kg on the Moon or Mars, though its weight there will be less.)
Objects with more mass weigh more because weight is directly proportional to mass. The gravitational force acting on an object is stronger when the object has more mass, resulting in a greater weight measurement.
The weight of an object is the result of the force of gravity acting on its mass. Objects with more mass have a greater amount of matter, which means there is a stronger gravitational force pulling on them, resulting in a greater weight.
In space, weightlessness occurs because there is no gravity acting on objects. As a result, objects and astronauts float freely without feeling the sensation of weight. This is different from mass, which remains constant regardless of location.
yes
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Mass is a property that gives objects the following:* It provides objects with weight. (Note: weight = mass x gravity) * It provides objects with inertia. The higher the mass of an object, the harder it is to change its velocity.
Of course the objects mass will not change. Since there is no gravity in space(moon), only the objects weight will change.No matter where the object the mass will stay the same!
No, an objects mass will remain the same no matter where it is. (Its weight will however vary)
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
Of course objects have mass because Mass is any object that has weight.
an objects mass is always the same but the weight can change because on different planets, the gravitational pull is different. so, yes
Weight depends on an object's location because it is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location.
