What is the measurement of gravity's pull on an object's mass?
Weight The unit of measurement for gravitational pull is the newton.
How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
If your mass for example is 10 kg then your weight is 98 newton as the weight=mass *gravity ; weight=mass*9.8 , other example if you went to the moon your mass won`t change but your weight will as gravity changed.
Which measurement depends on gravitational force- mass or weight?
Mass. Weight is mass X gravity where mass has units kg and weight has unit N or kgm/s2
What is the equal of weight to an object?
Nothing directly. The weight of an object depends on the strength of the gravitational field which it is in. Mass is most closely related to it within earths gravitational field.
What is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
Question should be "why is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?" On the earth, an object is attracted by it, due to its gravitational force which is dependent on the properties of the earth (its mass and the force it exerts on the body). On another heavenly body like the moon, mars etc the same object is attracted by it due to its gravitational force which is dependent on the properties of that planet (its mass and the force it exerts on the body). Since the heavenly bodies are of various sizes and gravitational pull, the force exerted by them (weight) on the same object will be different. However, the "quantity" of "material" or "substance" which is a measure of mass will be the same no matter on which planet you take it to. Mass is a measure of material content. Weight is a measure of force.
What is the measurement of gravity's pull on an object's mass?
Weight The unit of measurement for gravitational pull is the newton.
Which measurement mas or weight depends on where you are in the universe?
Mass and weight are two separate measurements. Mass is the dimensionless quantity representing the amount of matter in a particle or object. This number does not change relative to where ever the object is located. Weight is the quantity representing the force exerted on a particle or object by an acceleration field, particularly a gravitational field. Thus weight changes depending on the measurement of a particular gravitational field; for example, the weight of an object on Earth would differ than the weight of the same object on Mercury due to different gravitational forces.
What does weight measure?
Weight is the measurement of gravitational force on an object, relevant to Earth.
How did eratosthenes measure the earth?
is to define the mass and the weight with measurement of the gravitational force on an object,...
How does the gravitational pull determines the body weight?
Weight is a measurement of the downward force experienced by a mass in a gravity field. The stronger the field the greater the weight.
How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
If your mass for example is 10 kg then your weight is 98 newton as the weight=mass *gravity ; weight=mass*9.8 , other example if you went to the moon your mass won`t change but your weight will as gravity changed.
Gravitational potential energy depends on weight and height?
true
Density of sand in sea water?
the density of the sand doesn't change because density is a measurement of mass in a given space however weight changes. weight is a measurement of gravitational pull on an object
What do you call the measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object?
Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.
Which measurement depends on gravitational force- mass or weight?
Mass. Weight is mass X gravity where mass has units kg and weight has unit N or kgm/s2
The effect of gravity on matter is the measureof?
Mass determines the gravitational force of an object. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force being exerted on an object.
How is measurement of weight diferent from measurement of mass?
Weight is a measurement of a force that depends on the local gravitational environment, and changes from place to place for a constant object. It can be directly measured with any one of a large variety of force-sensitive devices. Mass is a measurement of the physical material that comprises the object, and is constant regardless of the surrounding environment. It can only be measured indirectly, either by comparison with a known mass, or else by combining a measured weight with a 'known' value for the local acceleration of gravity.
