  1. the weight of a body depends upon the value of g at a place.
  2. the value of g(gravity) decrease when we go inside the earth.
  3. therefore the weight of a person is less in mines.

Weight is the measure of the force of what?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on a person. This is why, when you visit another planet that has a different gravitational pull, you may weight more or less because gravity has less effect on you.


If you put a person in a barrel of water will it weigh more or less than if the barrel was filled with only water?

It will weigh more because the total weight would be the sum of the person's weight and the weight of the water in the barrel.


When riding in an elevator why does a person appear to lose weight when accelerating downward?

Weight is felt by the body resisting the pull (acceleration) of gravity. Less acceleration means less pull thus less weight. The rate at which you are accelerating downward subtracts from the pull of gravity, thus your weight is less. If you fall, say from a cliff or tall building you accelerate downward at exactly the acceleration of gravity so you're completely weightless.


How much weight is needed to stay under water?

The amount of weight needed to stay underwater depends on various factors, including the person's body composition, dive depth, and equipment used. A typical weight for scuba diving is around 10% of a person's body weight, but it is important to conduct a buoyancy check before diving to ensure proper weighting for neutral buoyancy.


What needs to be positive in order to float?

An object requires positive buoyancy in order to float, or the the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself. An example would be a person floating in the ocean, the person's body is less dense than the salt water, hence they float.

Do people weigh less on the moon than on earth?

Yes, there is much less gravity on the moon.Yes. A person's mass does not change but, because weight factors in the force of gravity acting on the person's mass, their weight is different on the moon. The moon creates a smaller force of gravity, therefore, a person's weight is lower on the moon.


Why does a person weight less on the moon than on earth?

Gravity's pull is weaker on the moon. 1/7 the weight you are on earth.


Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?

Yes, a person's mass remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, because the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person's weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth.

Why does a persons weight decrease on the Moon?

A person's weight decreases on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, so a person weighs less because there is less gravitational pull on their body.
