How do you find mass with gravity and mass?
To find an object’s mass using its weight, the formula is Mass equals Weight divided by the Acceleration of Gravity (M = W ÷ G).
What happens to mass if volume stays the same and density decreases?
If the mass of the object stays the same but the volume of the object decreases then its density becomes greater. If the volume of the object stays the same but the mass of the object increases then its density becomes greater.
Is your mass and weight the same on the moon?
The weight of an object is a force expressed in Newton (N). Therefore, the mass of an object on the Moon remains the same as its mass on Earth. But its weight gets less because the gravity on the moon is less than on the Earth.
How do you find mass on the moon?
Multiply your weight by the moon’s gravity relative to earth’s, which is 0.165. Solve the equation. In the example, you would obtain the product 22.28 lbs. So a person weighing 135 pounds on Earth would weigh just over 22 pounds on the moon.
How do you find mass with just force?
Plug the numbers you want to convert to mass into the new equation, m = F/a. As an example, we will use an object with a force of 10 N and an acceleration of 2 meters per second squared. Divide the newtons by the rate of acceleration, which will give you the mass of the object.
Is it possible to increase the mass of a substance without increasing the volume?
You can’t increase the mass of something and keep the volume constant. Density is an intensive property and so does NOT depend on the size or mass of the sample.
What would be my mass on the moon?
If you were to weigh yourself on a scale on Earth and then on the moon, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. To figure out how much YOU would weigh on the moon, take your weight and divide it by 6. So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only about 16 pounds on the moon.
