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.
What percentage of people know what a blue moon is?
A blue Moon is when 2 full moons happen in 1 month.
How many woman have been on the moon?
No Earth women have ever been on the moon, but many have been over the moon.
How are the planet's moons different from ours?
One obvious difference is: our moon is the only one so far observed whose rotational and orbital periods are the same (we only see one side of it from here). Also, Earth seems to be the only planet with only one moon. Some other differences are: chemical and mineral makeup, many of the moons are far enough from the sun that they have some type of ice on their surface (like ammonia or carbon dioxide).
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.
Why is weight different on different planets and the moon?
Some planets have less gravity or more gravity.More gravity giving you more weight and less giving you less weight.
Why would you wigh differently on different planets?
Different mass means different gravity meaning your weight would change. For example divide your weight by six-that's what you would weigh on the Moon.
How are planets different from moon?
Planets circle the sun Moons cirle planets.
How does gravity act on different weight size people?
i was taught that on the moon, your weight would be 11% of your weight on earth.
How is the revolution of the moon different from the revolution of planets?
The planets revolve around the sun. The moon revolves around Earth.
What is defined as weight?
Weight is a force that is measured in newtons (N). It is the force of the gravitational pull on you from the planet (or even moon) you are on. This is why your weight changes when going to different planets or to the moon.
If my weight is 58 in earth so how much in moon?
If your weight is 58 on earth it is different on the moon because the gravitational pull on the moon is different.
Does mercury have more craters than the moon?
Which moon? Different planets have different moons. If you are talking about our moon Murcury has more and deeper craters.
How is a moon different from a planet?
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
How is Uranus the same or different to other planets?
it has a sun a moon it is sideways
Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?
Weight will be different on the moon as compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of location as it is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.
