Does your weight change in different countries?
Yes, you weigh less on the equator than at the North or South Pole, but the difference is small. Note that your body itself does not change. Your weight is the combination of all the large-scale, long-term forces on your body. While the earth’s gravity is by far the strongest large-scale force, it is not the only one.
Why does weight of matter change while its mass does not?
Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter. Thus if you were to travel to the moon your weight would change because the pull of gravity is weaker there than on Earth but, your mass would stay the same because you are still made up of the same amount of matter. The amount of that force is weight.
What is different between mass and weight?
Mass is a measure of how much force it will take to change that path. Mass depends on how much matter – atoms and so on – there is in an object; more mass means more inertia, as there is more to get moving. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of downwards force that gravity exerts on an object.
What happens to your weight when you travel to Jupiter?
If you are worried about your weight, do not go to Jupiter. The Jovian gravity is much more intense than Earth’s. 2.528 times more intense to be exact. That means if you weigh 100 kg on Earth, your weight on Jupiter would be 252.8 kg.
Why does our weight change as we move above or below Earth’s surface?
As you travel away from the Earth’s surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases. Gravitational pull will also change subtly as you move around the surface of the Earth, varying with latitude and local topology, as the Earth is not a perfect sphere.
Why does weight change from place to place?
A person can weigh differently at various place on Earth because of the fluctuations in Earth’s gravity, according to a new high-resolution map. Gravity is often assumed to be the same everywhere on Earth, but it varies because the planet is not perfectly spherical or uniformly dense, researchers said.
Which quantity mass or weight does not change by change of place?
Solution: The mass of a body is constant and it does not change by changing the position of the body.
Why would you weigh more on Jupiter?
Although Jupiter is a great deal larger in size, its surface gravity is just 2.4 times that of the surface gravity of Earth. This is because Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter (assuming you could find someplace to, well, stand).
What planet do you weigh less?
You might be surprised to know that you would weigh the least on Mars, out of all of the planets in our Solar System.
Does Matter change state affect the property of weight?
SWBAT provide evidence to support their conclusion that the amount of matter present is conserved or is not conserved when matter changes state. Students conduct a hands on investigation to determine how matter, changing state, effects the property of weight.
What is the difference between mass and weight in chemistry?
Mass and weight typically do not differ in chemistry. The terms atomic weight and atomic mass are largely synonymous, as are molecular weight and molecular mass. In the case of atoms, sometimes mass is preferred for particular isotopes while weight is preferred for the element averaged over all isotopes based on their relative abundances.
What is the purpose of measuring the weight of matter?
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved. Unit 2 addresses standards related to matter and it’s interactions.
What is the experience of weight like?
“The experience of weight is through that counteracting force of the ground pushing back on you as you’re pushing down on the ground, because gravity is pulling you down. If you’re in a spaceship you don’t feel weight because you don’t have the ground pushing up against you”.
