Do objects with large masses always have large weights?

Question

Do objects with large masses always have large weights?

Answer 1

Mass is directly proportional to weight, and they directly affect each other. Depending on your understanding of the topic, you may take a while to grasp the basic concepts, but I included a very useful link to help you out.

Answer 2

No, it's according to the density of the object

Answer 3

Not always.  

Answer 4

Weight = Mass x Gravity

Therefore, assuming equal gravity a larger mass always means a larger weight.

Answer 5

Weight is proportional to mass and the acceleration due to gravity.

So objects that have large mass will have large weight is assume acceleration due to gravity is constant. But not the other way around.

Answer 6

yes ofcourse objects with large masses with respect to objects with small masses will hav large weights . eg

take a object A with mass 20 and B with mass 10

{ weight = mass * gravitational acceleration }

den obviously weight of object A which is 20 * 9.8 (gravitational acceleration )  = 196

while weight of object B  is  10 * 9.8 = 98

hence we can say  objects with large masses always have large weights

Answer 7

Yes.

Mass is constant for any object throughout the Universe, and is measured in Kilograms.

Weight is the force it exerts when gravity acts upon it, it's measured in Newtons (since it's a force), and on Earth it is 9.81 x the mass of the object, because that is the acceleration due to gravity.

However, not all objects with a large *volume* have a large mass. For example, a huge block of foam will weigh less than a much smaller block of lead, since lead is much denser.

Answer 8

We're talking mass, not density here, right?

If an object has a high mass, it will weigh a lot (the same as it's mass).

On the moon, the object will weigh less, but an object with less mass would also weigh less proportionally

Answer 9

no  

Answer 10

Think of the dirigible, the blimp.

Answer 11

not necesarily.

mass is the amount of substance in an object.

weight is the mass, exposed to gravity.

for example, a cannonball weighing 1kg on earth has 10N of mass. the same cannonball would weigh only 600g on the moon.

so depending on how strong the gravity exerted on an object is the weight varies. it is however always proportionary to the mass of the object.

Answer 12

it depends on what they're made of. Foam, no. Wood, yes. See what i mean?

Answer 13

Yes.

Weight = mass x gravity

so objects with large masses will always have large weights.

Answer 14

mass and weight are related by

weight = mass x g

where g is acceleration due to gravity

this was physical interpretation

the thing u were asking was that the objects which occupy large sapces (hav large volumes) always have large weights, the answer is that it depends an their density (mass per unit volume). So large volume of sponge may have less mass or weight than a small volume of iron..

Answer 15

Straight forward answer is yes.

If this is a critical thinking question than then answer is No.

Weight = mass x gravity.

Example:

Mass1 =10kg

Mass2 =5kg

Mass1 is on the moon which has a gravitational pull of 0.17

Mass2 is on the earth with a gravitational pull of 1.00

Weight of mass1 is 10 x .17 =1.7kg

Weight of mass2 is 5 x 1 = 5kg

Thus objects with the larger masses have larger weights if the the gravitational pull of both objects are then same.
