ok well a weight is a force. therefore F=ma (force=massXacceleration)

the weight of something (F) is equal to its mass times acceleration (9.8(gravity))

What does denisty of an object mean?

The weight of the object over the size of the object.


If you know the weight of an object that floats you know the what?

If you know the weight of an object that floats, you can determine the buoyant force acting on it, which is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This information allows you to calculate the object's density, as it will be equal to the density of the fluid it displaces.


Does mass and weight tell how much matter is in an object?

Mass and weight are both capable of telling you how much matter is in an object, it just depends on what other information you have. For instance if you have weight then you will also need to know the gravity and the density of atoms per gram of this object. If you know mass which is different from weight then you will only need to know the density of the object.


What information is needed to calculate an object's weight?

To calculate an object's weight, you need to know the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity at the location where the weight is being measured. The formula for calculating weight is weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.


Does An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?

No, an object's buoyant force and weight are not the same thing. Weight is the force with which gravity pulls an object downward, while buoyant force is the force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it that opposes the object's weight. buoyant force can act in the opposite direction of weight if the object is floating in a fluid.


What does it mean to know the mass of an object?

it means that you found the mass of an object.

What does weight mean how is it measured?

Mass is the quantity of matter in an object. If an object is subject to an accelerating force, then it has weight. Your weight on the Moon will be about one-seventh of that on the Earth. Because of its much lower gravitational force.


How do you know if an object's mechanical energy is equal to it's potential energy that it has no kinetic energy?

What two things do you need to know to work out the density of an object?

To work out the density of an object, you need to know its mass (weight) and volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.


If you know the weight of an object in kilograms explain how you could find the weight in grams?

To find the weight of an object in grams when you know the weight in kilograms, you can simply multiply the weight in kilograms by 1000. Since 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, this conversion allows you to convert easily between the two units of measurement.


What does weight mean in science terms?

Weight in science refers to the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object and is usually expressed in units of force, such as newtons or pounds. Weight can vary depending on the location of the object in the universe due to differences in gravitational strength.
