We can start with the assumption that you are asking why mass doesn't change relative to the presence of a gravitational field, while weight does change. Mass is a measure of the actual amount of physical material present in an object. Identical objects could be placed on the surface of the earth, in orbit around the earth, on Pluto, or in interstellar space. In each case, the amount of physical material is the same. However, the objects will not all weigh the same.
You can imagine floating free in space, and you are right in between two cubes of steel, each weighing 5 tons on earth. Of course, they weigh nothing in space. The cubes are for all practical purposes stationary and you are not being crushed. You could reach out and push against the cubes. While it might take a little effort, you would be able to get the cubes moving away from one another. The effort you have to put into getting the cubes to move is directly related to the amount of material in the cubes.
Now imagine yourself laying down in a parking lot, and one of the 5 ton cubes is being lowered onto you. Do you think you will be able to push the cube away as you did in space? In the parking lot, you would experience the weight of the cube on earth.
because it is inside of everything and everywhere
because the weight depends on gravity and the gravity changes when the object is taken to a different place.
Weight changes when the mass acting upon it changes or the distance between them alters. Mass does not change, weight may.
Mass does not change!!! Whatever the force of gravity, the object contains the same amount of matter. However, weight does change because the gravitational acceleration changes.
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
you can measure weight by a scale. weight could change from place to place like if you go to the moon you will weigh less because there is less gravitational pull on you. it basically depends on mass and mass is the amount of matter an object is made of. mass does not change so on the moon your mass does not change it's your weight that changes
mass is measured with a triple beam balance but the balance works because of gravity weight can change but mass cannot.
Your mass will not but your weight will.
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.
No. The mass of an object doesn't change (Law of Conservation of Mass), therefore its weight won't change either (weight = mass x gravity).
Weight changes when the mass acting upon it changes or the distance between them alters. Mass does not change, weight may.
There is really only 1 way you can change the weight of an object without changing the mass. You must change gravity.
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.
The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.
The weight itself is how much mass is there, so in theory the WEIGHT changes to how much mass there is.
Such an object's mass would not change, or it wouldn't change significantly. Its weight will be reduced, approximately by a factor of 6.
