Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?
No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
What is the same shape but different size?
The word for this is "similar." The same shape and the same size is "congruent."
Do objects of different weights but similar size and shape fall to the ground at the same rate?
Yes. In the absence of air, it doesn't even matter how their shapes and sizes compare.
What is a shape with the same shape but different size what is that called?
Similar.
Can a shape be congruent if its the same shape but different in size?
No, that's called a similar shape, it has to be both same shape and size, Your Welcome.
Do objects of the same size and shape have the same mass?
No, not unless they are made of the same substance. Different substances have different densities, which means that the same volumes will have different masses.
Why different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
When placed in water object a floats and object b sinks the objects are the same sizeand shape describe the masses of the objects?
Mass b > mass a
What can you tell about two objects that have the same volume but different masses?
the two objects in question have different densities. The denser object has more mass.
Do objects with different masses fall at the same rate?
if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).
What effect does the shape of an object have upon its density?
when you are comparing 3 objects of the same volume but different masses, which ever one is the heaviest, is the most dense and the lightest is the least dense. This is because Denisty= Mass ÷ Volume and when the volumes are the same, you just need to compare the masses.
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have different densities.
In a presentation about measuring Mass one of your classmates states Two objects of the same size will always have the same mass. and Is this statement correct Why or why not?
Different objects contain different amounts of matter, even if they are the same size. Therefore, two objects of the same size can have different masses.
