What are the six types of forces?
Gravity - the force of attraction between objects with mass Friction - the force that opposes motion between surfaces in contact Tension - the force transmitted through a rope, cable, or other similar objects Normal force - the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it Applied force - a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object Spring force - the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring
How will gravity affect the weight and mass of an object?
Gravity affects weight but not mass. Think of mass as the "stuff" an object is made of or the amount of matter it has. That does not change just because the force of gravity changes. However, weight IS affected by changes in gravity. That is why you will weigh about six times less on the moon than you do on Earth. The moon's force of gravity, or acceleration, is about 6.05 times less than Earth's. So, your physical make-up (mass) has not changed but your weight has.
Does the weight of something change depending on where it is?
Yes, because if you are 90 pounds on earth you would be 15 pounds on the moon. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and the force of gravity depends on the mass of the object. The force of gravity on the earth is six times greater than that of the moon, or, the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth. On earth, a person's weight would vary slightly between sea level and the top of a mountain. This is because the force of gravity is stronger the closer an object is to the center of the earth (or moon, or planet).
Is weight a kg or Newton and what about mass?
In terms of physics, weight is expressed in Newtons and is synonymous with force. The weight of an object can change as related to the force of gravity (acceleration) acting upon it. Acceleration is expressed in meters per second squared and on Earth this is 9.8m/sec^2. In contrast, the moon's acceleration is about six times less powerful at about 1.62m/sec^2.'Mass' is expressed in kilograms. For everyday objects and energies, mass describes the amount of matter in an object; an object's physical 'make-up'. Mass does not change. An astronaut's mass, his physical composition, does not change merely because he moves from the earth to the moon. But, his weight does change as a result of the decrease in gravitational force. His weight will be about six times less on the moon.

What is a six sided object?
The most common six sided object is a cube (the six sides of a cube can be described as the front, the back, the left side, the right side, the top, and the bottom), although there are many other possible ways to get six sides.

In what ways does the long six year term affect how senators vote?
The six year term affects how Senators vote because it makes them less subject to the pressures of public opinion and less susceptible to the pleas of special interests than are the members of the House.
Six sided object?
An six-sided object is a hexagon. A hexagon has six straight sides that connect making a closed shape and they are classified as polygons.
