Is weight and mass the same thing? Is 1 kg always 2.2 pounds? At the surface of the Earth, yes. On the moon, 1 kg would be about 0.7 pounds.
Weight is the effect of gravity on mass. In space, you have no (or very little) weight, but you still have the same mass. Astronauts in the ISS have no weight and can float around, but if they want to move themselves, they have to deal with inertia.
mass is measured with a balance comparing an unknown mass with an object of known mass. weight is not measeured with the same tools as mass.
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
Absolutely not. Mass and weight are two entirely different things. Every object has a mass which is a measure of the amount of matter that it contains. It is a property of the object and is essentially a constant. I say essentially because radioactive decay (and fusion is stars) can alter the mass of an object by converting some mass into energy or the other way around.Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of how that mass is affected by gravitational attraction. On the surface of the earth, a mass of one kilogram will have a weight of approximately 9.8 Newtons, but on the moon, the same kilogram will have a mass of only a sixth as much because the moon's gravity is so much weaker. On a neutron star, on the other hand, the same kilogram mass, would weight about 200 billion times as much as on earth. In outer space, it could be weightless.
No grmas are in weight. Ml is in measurements of liquids.
Your mass is always the same.
Gravity affects weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity pulling it towards a center of mass, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight depends on both the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational field it is in, following the formula weight = mass x gravity.
No. Mass is the weight of an object on earth. Scientists use mass instead of weight so the measurements will be the same everywhere. For example A big ballon has a relatively lower mass than a small sized stone
On Earth, mass and weight are used synonymously because the gravitational force acting on an object is constant. Weight is essentially the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Since the gravitational acceleration is approximately the same at the surface of the Earth, the terms mass and weight can be used interchangeably.
Mass and weight are similar in that both are measurements related to an object's quantity of matter. However, they differ in that mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object and can vary based on the object's location in the universe.
Mass is measured in grams, milligrams, kilograms etc. Mass measurements follow the same laws as the standard (Non-US) measurements for distance.
he weight will not always be the same and her measurements I'm not sure where to find that. So it's not guarantee her weight would be the same.
The mass is the same; the weight is not.
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

No, gram is a unit of mass used to measure weight, while meter is a unit of length used to measure distance. They are not the same, but both are part of the metric system of measurements.

These could be considered Body Mass Index or BMI.
