Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight?
Let's look at the question without one bit of it..... "Do all rocks weigh the same if they have ......... .... ... the same weight?"
If things are the same weight, then they weigh the same.

If the mas of an object is 146 kilograms what is its weight in pounds?
146 kilograms = 321.874903 pounds but remember that mass is different to weight. Weight depends on gravity. A body with a mass of 146 Kg taken to the moon still has a mass of 146Kg but will weigh much less
If your mass was 82kg what would it be on Mercury?
If your mass was 82kg on Earth your mass would still be 82kg on Mercury.Your weight would be different, if you weighed 82kg on Earth you would only weigh 30.9kg on Mercury.
How do you convert weight in pounds to weight in kgs?
"kg" is a unit of mass.You can measure the weight of an object with a scale. Once you know its weight,you can convert the weight to mass, if you know the acceleration of gravity in theplace where you are. The same mass will have different weights in different places.For example, if you have a rock with 1 kg of mass, it'll weigh about 2.2 pounds on Earth,but only 5.8 ounces on the moon.
How does your weight change while on a different planet?
Your weight, or any objects weight, is a function of your mass and the local gravitational force. Planets such as Mars and Mercury, or even the moon have much lower gravity, since these bodies are smaller and less massive. So your weight will be less, though your mass will remain the same. I will still be a 100kg man (my mass), but on Mercury I will weigh 38kg.
If you were to weigh yourself in an elevator that is in free fall would you weigh more?
Free fall means the upward acceleration of air resistance cancels out the downward acceleration of gravity, leaving only your mass. If you're confused about the difference between mass and weight: Weight = (mass) * (gravity (9.8 m/s^2)) Mass = weight/gravity
Do all of the coins weigh the same?
No, they all have different masses. Rocks come in all different shapes and sizes, so they will all have a different mass. If your take two different rocks and weigh them, it would be different.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
How much would you weigh in space?
You would weigh nothing. You still have mass, but mass is different than weight. Ever wonder why they say you are "weightless" in space? It's because of that: you would weigh nothing in space.
Astronauts weight the same as they would on other planets?
They would have the same mass, however they would weigh different amounts. Mass is an object's property. Weight depends on the surrounding gravity.
Why would you wigh differently on different planets?
Different mass means different gravity meaning your weight would change. For example divide your weight by six-that's what you would weigh on the Moon.
What is an insect's mass?
The mass is equal to the weight (both in grams) but different insects vary greatly in weight depending on species and age. Some weigh a tiny fraction of a gram, while very large bugs can weigh 10 grams or more.
What is the formula used to calculate the weight of an object if you are given the mass in kilograms?
Mass is a property of matter and is therefore a constant. Weight however can change, it is the force exerted by that mass in a gravity field. Thus in different gravity fields a constant mass will weigh differently. Weight = Mass * the acceleration of gravity.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
How do weight and mass relate to each other?
Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
What is the mass of 3 books?
Well every book has a different weight, so it really just depends on what they all weigh. (weigh them separately) then add it together, therefore giving you the mass of three books.
Can you weigh density?
No. Density is a ratio; it is mass divided by volume. Anything that you can weigh has a non-zero density, but the weight of the thing is related to its mass and the gravity where it is being measured. You could have two objects of vastly different density, but the weight of the objects could be the same.
If the mas of an object is 146 kilograms what is its weight in pounds?
146 kilograms = 321.874903 pounds but remember that mass is different to weight. Weight depends on gravity. A body with a mass of 146 Kg taken to the moon still has a mass of 146Kg but will weigh much less
