What happens if an object has more mass?
This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects. Example: Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving.
Is the mass of an object greater on Earth than on the moon?
It’s important to remember that mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up a person or object. One way to measure mass is through its interaction with gravity. The Earth is much more massive than the moon, so the astronaut’s weight would be greater on the Earth than on the moon.
What would happen to the weight of an object when the distance of the object above Earth’s surface increases?
The distance is inversely proportional to the weight (or force of gravity) and so as the distance increases the weight decreases.
Will an object with a greater mass fall faster?
More massive objects will only fall faster if there is an appreciable amount of air resistance present. Thus, the greater force on more massive objects is offset by the inverse influence of greater mass. Subsequently, all objects free fall at the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass.
How does mass affect the force?
If a heavy (more massive) object is in motion, more force must be applied to get the object moving faster. If the same force is applied to two objects, the object with the smaller mass will change speeds more quickly.
What will happen to mass and weight when you go to the Moon?
It is also defined as the force of gravity acting on the object. 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.
Would your mass be greater or lesser on a planet smaller than Earth?
Would your mass be greater or lesser on a planet smaller than Earth? a. It would be the same. It depends on the mass of the planet.
What happens to weight if the mass increases?
As your body grows, you will have more mass, which also means you will weigh more. That’s because when you’re on the earth, the amount of gravity that pulls on you stays the same. So when your mass changes, so does your weight!
Would your weight be greater if the earth gained mass?
Originally Answered: what would happen with weight of object if mass of earth increased? Weight will Increase. The value of acceleration due to gravity(g) will increase due to increase in mass of earth. And thereby the weight will increase as weight is mass*g.
