Mass is how much space an object takes up. Weight is a measurement of how strong the force of gravity pulls down on said object. Weight changes because gravity changes on different planets or moons.
Mass is an intrinsic property of a substance while weight varies depending gravity.
For instance the Moon has about 1/3rd of Earth gravity , so if you were weigh yourself on the moon you would way 1/3rd of what you do on Earth. However you mass would be the same and if you were to run into a wall on the moon, at 1 mile an hour, it would feel just the same as running, at 1 mile an hour, into the same wall on earth. This is because your inertia (which is related to your mass and speed) would be the same in both places.
Pretty good answer:
The mass is always the same because mass is made up of the things inside the object.
=============================
Rephrasing:
"Mass" is the measurement of the actual matter in you, which doesn't change.
"Weight" is the measurement of the gravitational forces between you and another
mass, which depends on the other mass as much as it depends on yours.
The mass of an object whether it is living or died will never change in any part of the universe... However, its wright will vary from place to place. Weight is a Force which depends on the gravitational force of the planet.
W=mg; where is the mass of the body and g is the force of gravity of the earth. As g changes in any part of the universe, similarly the weight of the object also varies.
Because they're two different things.
-- Mass is the amount of material that an object or a person is made of. It doesn't
depend on where the object is, or what else is around it, and it doesn't change.
-- Weight is the force of gravity between the mass of the object and the mass of
something else around it. That force depends on the size of the object's mass, and
on the size of the other mass, and on how close together they are.
Here's an analogy that may or may not help:
-- Mass is like the amount of metal in your pocket ... it doesn't matter what else is
around you, and it doesn't change.
-- Weight is like the forces that act on your pocket when there are magnets around
you ... those depend on what's in your pocket and on what else is around you.
Weight takes the force of gravity into account. But your mass does not. The moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's so you would weigh less on the moon.
weight=mass*gravitational constant Therefore, one's weight on the Moon would be different than on Earth, but his mass on both the Moon and the Earth would be the same.
Mass is what you are made up out of (the stuff inside your body) while weight is the gravitational pull of your body to the ground.
Your mass never changes. Only your weight. Gravity does not affect mass.
Weight.
weight.. Mass always stays the same
The weight itself is how much mass is there, so in theory the WEIGHT changes to how much mass there is.
No, the measured weight of an object WILL change but the mass of an object will never change regardless of the gravitational force on object.
A persons mass never changes. A persons WEIGHT changes according to the amount of gravitational force put on the object. Some 1 on the moon WEIGHS less on the moon but still has the same mass. Mass plays a factor in the weight but a persons mass never changes by where the person is or so I think.
Your mass never changes. Only your weight. Gravity does not affect mass.
The mass of an object never changes, the weight of an object changes depending on the gravitational force (or which planet you're on). So on earth, the gravitational field strength is 10, so if your mass is 50kg, your weight is 500N
mass, it never changes based where you are. and matter too, energy not sure but i doubt it. weight is the only one that changes
Yes. Your mass never changes, no matter where you go but your weight can be affected by gravity.
your mass would stay the same (mass never changes), but your weight would be about one sixth (1/6) of what it is one earth
Kilograms are a measure of mass, and since mass never changes, you would be 42 kg on every planet.
It will be 1 kg, since a gram is a measurement of mass, not weight. Mass never changes.
When you go anywhere away from earth, your weightchanges, depending on where you are and what you're near.Your mass never changes.
Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.
Weight.
Weight changes when the mass acting upon it changes or the distance between them alters. Mass does not change, weight may.
