How do you convert from mass to distance?

Answer 1

With extreme difficultly as they measure different things:

mass is a measure of how much something weighs*, whereas

length is a measure of distance.

* Actually weight is the force on a mass due to acceleration and is measured in Newtons. However, weight and mass are often, incorrectly, used interchangeably and I cannot think of a better word to describe mass.

To further muddy the waters, mass and distance ARE related by energy and acceleration:

energy = (mass × acceleration) × distance

which can be rearranged to

distance = energy ÷ (mass × acceleration)

So for an object given a mass, an acceleration (on earth acceleration due to gravity is a good one) and an amount of energy put in, the distance the object is moved (by that energy [in acting as a force]) can be calculated.
