Any 1-kilogram mass near the Earth's surface.
Two pounds is not one kilogram. One kilogram is actually equal to 2.2 pounds. To convert weight from pounds to kilograms, divide weight by 2.2 and the answer is the weight in kilograms.
The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.
1 kg is not equal to 9.8 newton. It's the amount of mass that weighs 9.8 newtonon earth.The weight of anything is(object's mass) times (the local acceleration of gravity).When the same mass moves to places with different gravity, its weight is different.The acceleration of gravity anywhere on or near the surface of the earth is 9.8 meters per second2 .The weight of 1 kilogram of mass anywhere on or near the surface of the earth is(1 kilogram) times (9.8 meter per sec2) = 9.8 kilogram-meter/sec2 = 9.8 newton.
9.8N. A newton is a kilogram-meter per second squared. The 1 kg of water is pulled by Earth's gravity which is 9.8m/s2 = 9.8kg m/s2 = 9.8N
The weight of 1 kilogram of iron on Earth is greater than the weight of 1 kilogram of iron on the Moon. This is because weight depends on the gravitational pull of the celestial body, and Earth has a stronger gravitational force than the Moon.
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
On earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 9.8 newtons.
1 pound is the weight of 0.45359237 kilogram of mass on earth. 1 kilogram of mass weighs 2.205 pounds on earth, and has other weights in other places.
Near the surface of the Earth, every kilogram has a weight of 9.8 Newton. (Weight is a type of force.)
1 kilo equals 2.2 lbs * * * * * No. A pound is a measure of mass, not of weight. A kilogram weighs 1 Newton on the surface of the Earth. In the weightlessness of outer space, for example, a kilogram will weigh nothing.
The mass is 1 kilogram anywhere. The mass doesn't change.The weight of 1 kilogram is 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds) on earth,and 1.6 newtons (5.8 ounces) on the moon.
A kilogram (mass) on the moon is still a kilogram (mass)A kilogram (referred to as its weight) is about 1/6 of it's Earth weight or 160 g (approx)Aside: In common usage we talk about an object having a weight, not a mass (e.g. Your driver's license states your weight). In science a kilogram is a unit of mass. Weight is what we perceive when we try to lift that mass - it is the force of gravity pulling the kilogram mass to the Earth. It gets a bit confusing when you are at Earth's surface because a the kilogram mass has a numerically kilogram of force (usually referred to as weight) attracting it downwards.
The weight of a 1 kilogram brick is approximately 9.81 newtons on Earth due to gravity.
Any 1-kilogram mass near the Earth's surface.
Any 1-kilogram mass near the Earth's surface.
Not really.Somethings weight is a measure of the mass of the object in a gravity field. therefore an object of mass 1 Kilogram will weigh 1 kilogram on Earth but only 1/3 of a kilogram on the Moon.For this reason we say stars / planets/ moons etc have mass not weight as it is mass that is the invariant property of matter not weight.
