Does mass remain constant?
Yes, Mass remains constant because the definition of mass does not mean weight. Mass means the amount of room and object takes.
If you place a 500 gram weight on a 1 inch x 1 inch paint sample is it the same weight per square inch if you place 5 1 inch samples under the same 500 grams?
The support provided by 5 samples would be 5 times greater than that of 1 sample, but the weight expressed by the 500 gram weight remains constant.
What is the density of an object with a weight of 32 grams?
Density is mass per unit volume. Since there is no information on the volume of the object, the question cannot be answered. Furthermore, mass is only indirectly related to weight. Weight is the force experienced by a mass under the influence of a gravitational force. However, while the mass of a body remains constant, its weight will depend on the gravitational force acting upon it. On the moon, for example, a body will weigh only a sixth as much as it does on earth. So you cannot use weight in calculating density.
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 rule of constant proportions?
The law of constant proportions, also called Proust's law, states that the elements in a compound are all present in a fixed proportion by weight, regardless of how the compound is prepared.
