What else can I help you with?
Does weight affect mass?
Yes, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the object's location in the universe.
Why do scientist use mass instead of weight?
The word weight in every day speech means how much do you weigh converted back to mass. That is if I ask "what do you weigh?" but I want the answer in pounds or kilograms.In science mass is measured in kilograms (or pounds outside the science lab) but weight has more to do with the gravitational pull of the Earth.Newton's second law is F = maForce = mass x accelerationWeight = mass x acceleration due to gravityW = 50 kg x 9.8 m/s2 (Force or Weight has a unit of Newtons, N)= 490 NWhy? Perhaps because when we use the balance or the weighing machine we are using gravity but then we convert the scale back to mass.
How can one determine mass from weight and what is the relationship between the two?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. To determine mass from weight, you can use the formula: mass weight / acceleration due to gravity. The relationship between mass and weight is that weight is directly proportional to mass, meaning that as the mass of an object increases, its weight also increases.
How do you find the weight when you know the mass?
To find weight when you know the mass, you can use the formula Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity. Simply multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity (usually taken as 9.81 m/s^2) to calculate the weight in newtons.
What do you need to use to find the mass of the ring?
You will need a pair of scales and some standard mass measures (weights).
How do math and science interrelate?
You can use mathematical formulas to determine measurements of mass, force, weight, wavelength, etc.
What is a sentence for the word weight in science?
In science weight means the heaviness or mass of an object. It is determined by the local acceleration of gravity times the mass of the body.
Sixth grade science question what is mass?
Mass is the weight of the object without the gravitational force acting on it..........
Mass is used than weight by scientists?
English the language the speak of science.
How does science play a role in gymnastics?
it involves physics, which depend on mass and weight.
Why do scientist measure and record the mass other than the weight?
The mass is a measure of the amount of matter present in an object whereas weight is a measure of the force on the object due to gravity. Weight is measured in Newtons, mass is measured in kilograms (pounds in the Imperial system) When we use the term weight outside of science we actually are referring to mass. mass is a measure of 'stuff,' of material that makes up an object. weight is the gravities affect on mass as you can see from the equation Fg=mg, m=mass g=gravity (on earth it is 9.8) and fg is weight in newtons
Does weight affect mass?
Yes, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the object's location in the universe.
How do you find out a weight in mass?
You use the formula weight = mass x gravity. In SI units, the gravity is 9.8 meters per second square, weight is in Newtons, mass is in kilograms.You use the formula weight = mass x gravity. In SI units, the gravity is 9.8 meters per second square, weight is in Newtons, mass is in kilograms.You use the formula weight = mass x gravity.

In SI units, the gravity is 9.8 meters per second square, weight is in Newtons, mass is in kilograms.
How do we use weight?
Usually we do not. We use mass, but wrongly call it weight. You compare the masses of people, you buy fruit and vegetables, or meat by their weight and not mass, etc.
How is mass and weight related to science?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force with which gravity pulls on that object. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight changes depending on the strength of gravity. In science, mass and weight are important concepts for understanding the behavior of objects in different environments.
Do scientists use mass more or less then weight?
Scientists use both; but normally mass is used somewhat more than weight.
