Why can your weight change if you go to another planet but your mass will not change?
Your mass is the amount of stuff that makes up our body. It can only change if you either remove something from your body or add something to it. Your weight is the amount of force you experience from gravity. It depends on both your mass and the strength of the gravity. Since the strength of gravity varies between the planets, so will your weight.
If a plasticine is change to another shape will it have the same mass?
Yes, the mass of the plasticine will remain the same if it is simply reshaped into a different form. Mass is a measure of the amount of material present, and reshaping does not change the amount of plasticine present in the object.
Is this true or false the weight of a person can change but the mass stays the same?
That is very true. The mass of something is definite, "the amount of stuff in an object"; However, the weight of something is the pull of gravity on an object. Someone or something's weight can change if, for example, they go to the Moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body with different levels of gravity.
What would be the mass of a person on the moon?
A person's mass is the same on the moon as it is on Earth because mass does not change based on location. However, their weight would be about 1/6th of what it is on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.
Why is the mass of an object the same of the moon as it is on Earth?
The mass of an object remains the same regardless of its location because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which does not change. Gravity affects the weight of an object, not its mass, so an object will have the same mass on the Moon as it does on Earth, but it will weigh less on the Moon due to the Moon's lower gravitational pull.
Can you change the mass of a substance if you distort its shape?
The mass of a substance is not dependent upon the shape of the substance - it is directly related only to volume through its density. Therefore, just because you squash a cube of something into a flat oval, the mass of the substance shouldn't change because the overall volume hasn't changed.
Does the mass change?
if the shape changes the mass changes
Does shaping a ball of dough into a loaf change the shape and mass?
changes the shape but not the mass
What is something that doesn't have definite shape or volume mass or container?
They all have definite shape ,volume ,and definite mass. A solid is a figure something that doesn't change when you move it like if you move a table out of a classroom it wouldn't. A liquid takes the place of its container.
Does the shape of an object change its density?
Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.
Does the mass of something change when it is crushed?
No, the mass of an object remains the same even when it is crushed. While the shape and volume of the object may change, the total amount of matter within the object does not change.
Why does changing shape of an object dose not change the density?
Density is a property that depends on the mass and volume of the object, not its shape. Changing the shape of an object does not alter the amount of mass or volume it contains, so the density remains the same.
Does food change its shape as it moves through the digestive system?
Food normally becomes a shapeless mass as it is digested, although if you have swallowed something that you cannot digest, it will retain its shape.
Solid matter does not change what?
mass doesn't change
What is a solid and a liquid?
a solid is something that hols its shape and a liquid is something that can change its shape.
When a substance undergoes a phase change it still has a definite A mass B shape C volume D temperature?
C. volume. During a phase change, the substance's volume remains constant even though there may be a change in its mass, shape, or temperature.
Does the moments of Inertia change if center of mass change?
No, the moment of inertia of an object does not change with a change in its center of mass. The moment of inertia depends on the mass distribution and shape of an object, not its center of mass.
