Objects such as astriods or small moons are iregulary shaped because they have much less mass than the planets. Therefore thier gravitational force is not strong enough to form a sphere.

How does the centre of gravity change as the size of the object changes?

The location of an object's center of gravity depends on the object's shape, and on how its mass is distributed throughout its shape, but not on its size. The center of gravity of a homogeneous sphere is at the center of the sphere, no matter whether the sphere's radius is 1 millimeter or 1 light year.


Why does an object with a lot of mass take the shape of a sphere?

Objects such as astriods or small moons are iregulary shaped because they have much less mass than the planets. Therefore thier gravitational force is not strong enough to form a sphere.


How does the shape of an object compare and contrast to the mass of the object made of the same substance and mass?

The shape of an object bears no relation to the mass of an object.


What is the difference between shape and mass?

A shape is a square, circle, etc. Mass is anything that takes up space. A shape can be a mass, but the definition of a mass is not a shape. The shapes are made up of mass. I'm starting to confuse myself here so I hope I answered your question and if I didn't good luck finding a better answer.


How does changing the shape of an object affect its mass?

Changing the shape of an object does not affect its mass. The mass of an object remains constant regardless of its shape because mass is a measure of the amount of matter present in an object. Changing the shape may affect the object's volume and density, but not its mass.


Which property depends on shape volume or mass?

Physical properties


Size shape color and mass are characteristics of an objects?

Yes, size, shape, color, and mass are physical characteristics that describe an object's appearance and properties. Size refers to the dimensions of an object, shape is the form it takes, color is the light reflected off its surface, and mass is the amount of matter it contains.


How does mass affect the shape of an object?

Mass does not directly affect the shape of an object. The shape of an object is determined by its structure and composition. However, the mass of an object does affect its weight, which can influence how the object interacts with other objects or its environment.


Does the center of mass of a solid subject necessirly lie within the objects if not give examples?

No, the center of mass of a solid object does not necessarily have to lie within the object. For example, a hollow sphere or a ring has its center of mass located outside of its physical structure. This is because the distribution of mass in these objects is not uniform.


Which shape uses the smallest amount of material when creating a cretical mass?

A sphere.


What is the meaning of Massed?

Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass has weight, volume, takes up space, and is measurable.


An object will sink in a liquid if the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid. the mass of a sphere is 9.83g. if the volume of this sphere is less than blank cm3 then the sphere will?

If the volume of the sphere is less than 1 cm3, then the sphere will sink in the liquid as its density is greater than that of the liquid.
