the Weight of an object is the force gravity exerts on it. So if you take a 1kg mass, on earth it pushes down 9.8n.
but on say, the moon, you could take a 2kg mass, the amount of force it exerts downwards (the weight) would be less then the 1kg does on earth.
So yes, but not if they are in the same place!
Strictly a matter of which possesses the greater mass. If the softball has less mass than a basketball, it must weigh less.
Yes, you would weigh less if you were on the moon
"Not equal to"
No, another meaning for "greater than or equal" is "not less than".
Less than. Nothing on the surface of the Earth can weigh more than the Earth itself.
you would weigh more on Jupiter because of the greater gravity
Less than (<) Greater than (>) Equal to (=) Greater than or equal to (> but it has another horizontal line under it) Less than or equal to (< but it has another horizontal line under it) Not Equal to (= but with a / through it)
Objects that weigh less exert less downward force due to gravity compared to objects that weigh more. Gravity acts on all objects equally, causing them to fall at the same rate regardless of weight. However, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, so objects with more mass will have a greater weight and exert a greater force on a surface when supported.
A 1 inch cube made of high-density material like steel or lead would weigh approximately 0.3 pounds (4.8 ounces). However, if the material is low-density like balsa wood or foam, it would weigh significantly less.
It floats.
less than
0.549 is greater
