Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass and varies with gravitational field strength. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while weight is measured in Newtons (N).

How do I calculate mass from density and volume?

Use the formula: mass = density × volume. Make sure your units are consistent. For example, if density is in kg/m³ and volume is in m³, the result will be in kg.

How do I use Newton's second law to find mass?

Newton's second law states F = ma, so mass = Force ÷ Acceleration. If you know the force applied to an object (in Newtons) and its acceleration (in m/s²), divide force by acceleration to get mass in kg.

Why does my weight change on different planets?

Your mass stays the same everywhere, but weight depends on gravitational acceleration. Earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², while the Moon's is only 1.62 m/s². This means you weigh about 6 times less on the Moon despite having the same mass.

What are common density values I should know?

Water: 1000 kg/m³, Air: 1.2 kg/m³, Aluminum: 2700 kg/m³, Steel: 7850 kg/m³, Lead: 11,340 kg/m³, Gold: 19,300 kg/m³. These values help estimate mass for common materials.
