Does a larger object have more mass?
The expectation that a larger object will feel heavy is presumably caused by the fact that larger objects generally contain more material and consequently have a larger mass than smaller objects. When, in contrast, the two objects have the same mass, an illusory heaviness difference occurs.
Do smaller objects have more mass?
Could a larger object have less mass than a smaller object?
Mass isn’t proportional to size – Mass is proportional to density for a given size. It’s about how much matter you have packed into a small space.
What does it mean when an object has greater mass?
Greater mass means greater weight, but NOT greater density. As [math]W=mg[/math], which means the weight of an object equals the mass times gravitational acceleration.
Can a higher density object have less mass?
An object of higher density may have less mass with negligible volume.Tge mass should be very much greater than the volume. Eg Saturn despite of its large mass can float on water if placed on it one it is less denser than water. , 20 year old all around physics enthusiast. No.
Is it possible for two objects to have the same mass?
No. Two objects could weight the same amount (have the same mass), but one could be compressed into a smaller space and/or have more atoms per cubic unit of measurement and still weigh the same;) Not neccesarily. It has more mass per unit of volume, but total mass may be smaller.
Which is heavier an object on Earth or the Moon?
So if you compare the objects of the same mass on the earth and a moon, then you’ll certainly have more weight on Earth. and if you compare an object with mass m and another object with mass 6m and put it on Earth and the Moon respectively; both of them will have the same weight as the gravitational acceleration on Moon is 1/6th that of the Earth.
