Why do objects have weight?
Objects have weight due to the force of gravity acting upon them. The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force pulling it towards the center of the Earth. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force and the heavier the object will be.
What is true about an objects weight but not about its mass?
An objects weight is the amount of the pull of gravity on an object. On the other hand, mass is the amount of matter in an object. You`re mass is the same on every planet. For example, lets say on earth you weighed 100 pounds. On Venus you would weigh the same. BUT, you`re weight is different on different planets. For example, on the moon, the amount of the pull of gravity on you would be different in a way that you would be 70% lighter. Hope that helps. Adios! And no, I am NOT Spanish.(False) It would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
Because different planets have different mass, which means that gravity is weaker or stronger depending on the mass. If gravity is stronger than objects will have more weight, and if it's weaker they will have less weight.
What age group shows the greatest difference between males and females?
The teenage years typically show the greatest difference between males and females in terms of physical and psychological development. This can be attributed to the hormonal changes and growth spurts that occur during this period, leading to noticeable disparities between males and females in areas such as height, muscle mass, and emotional maturity.
Distinguish between the mass of an object and the object's weight?
The mass of an object is unchanging relative to the local gravity. The weight of an object is relative to the strength of the gravity in which it is weighed. The metric unit gram is a measure of mass. The English system unit a pound is a measure of weight. Something that has a mass of 1 kilogram on Earth has the same mass on the Moon, but two entirely different weights. On Earth, a 1 kilogram mass weighs approximately 2.2 pounds. On the Moon, where the gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, the same 1 kilogram mass weighs only a little over 1/3 of a pound. A weight of an object is a consequence of its having a mass, in the presence of a gravitational field. A mass is a property of the object, won't change unless the integrity of the object is affected. Its weight, though, is a consequence of the object being nearby another (massive) object, in most contexts that will be the (surface of the) Earth. Say a bowling ball weights 3 kilograms. This a short for saying 'on the surface of the Earth, this bowling ball is atracted to the Earth with a force of 3 kilograms', or, more properly said, with a force equal to 3 x 9,8 Newton (Newton is the proper measuring unit for force). If that bowling ball was on the surface of the Moon, it would weight about 0,5 kilograms, one sixth more or less of its weight on the Earth. Yet, its mass would still be 3 kilograms. If you were to hang vertically (somehow) from a rope your bowling ball, so it stands still, the rope would have to be able to resist 3 kilos in the Earth, in the Moon a rope that can take 0,5 kg would be enough. But say you try to throw the ball away, doing it the way hammer throw athletes do in the Olympics, swinging it around you in circles, then releasing it. While you make it turn around you (horizontally), the tension in the rope depends on the speed at which you make it turn and *the mass* of the ball. If you make it turn at the same speed (with the same rope length), the tension on the rope will be same on Earth and on the Moon. But the distance your throwing attempt will reach would be different, since it depends on *the weight* of the ball. On the Moon, all being equal (speed in swinging the ball, length of the rope, angle of your throw), you would reach 6 times farther than in the Earth. Other experiments you might perform on the Moon or on the surface on other unknown space bodies, might involve measuring the period of oscillations of your bowling ball when attached to string, or playing 'pool' with another ball of known mass and measuring speeds and angles after and before their collision. This is because the physics principles involved in those experiments (preservation of energy, preservation of linear momentum, respectively), do involve the mass of the objects, not their weight.
Determined by the distance between objects and the difference in mass between the objects?
The distance between objects and the different is 0. The distance between the mass and an object is 1.
What is the difference of percent of mass and percent of volume?
Percent of an objects mass is expressed in terms of its weight. Percent of an objects volume is expressed in terms of its size.
What is the difference between mass and capacity?
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
What determines the value of gravity mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Gravity is determined by the mass of two objects and the distance between them. Weight is the resulting force.
What is the difference between gravity and weight?
-- Weight is the force that attracts objects toward each other. When wetalk about 'weight', one of the objects is usually the Earth.-- 'Gravity' is the characteristic of all mass in the universe that causes the forces.Gravity is the force whereas weight is the measurement of how much the force gravity affects something.
What is the weight difference on mercury?
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. W=mg On Earth, g=9.8N/kg On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass. Weight difference = 6m
What is the difference between mass on earth and mass in space?
There is no difference between mass anywhere in the universe; it will always be a specific type of bonding between atoms anywhere it goes. However, weight may change due to different gravities on different planets
What factors determine the force of gravity between two objects?
the mass of the objects and the distance of the objects
Does all matter have weight?
Yes, but it's important to understand the difference between weight and mass. Matter has mass without gravity. Gravity pulls objects with mass toward the center of the earth, giving them weight.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons.
