    1 kilo of coke is the same a 1 kilo of weed is the same as 1 kilo of meth.

    They do weigh the same, the muscle just takes up less space on the body, and fat takes up more.

    On the moon, I weigh 26 lbs.

    On Mars, I weigh 60 lbs

    On Venus, I weigh 145 lbs

    On Jupiter, I weigh 378 lbs

    On Pluto, I weigh 10 lbs

    On Saturn, I weigh 146 lbs

    On Uranus, I weigh 142 lbs

    I hope they have MPF on Jupiter... that place is rough... and windy, I hear. Also, I bet my vert jump might actually be impressive on Pluto (I know it's not a planet anymore :cry: ).

    On Mercury, I weigh

    On Neptune, I weigh

    So basically losing weight is irrelavent, because of your example that you posted regarding the effects of gravity that one mass has on another; Say the mass of the rotaing planet affecting the mass thats on it! (ME) So I propose that we forget all about focusing on our weight loss and start focusing on our body mass!!! Or move to the moon!:laugh:

    Maybe that's why they call it BMI. :tongue:

    Not true. Weight varies from one planet (or gravitation field} to the next. Mass is constant and does not change.

    In the vacuum of space, I weigh nothing.

    Oh, and no one can hear me scream.

    $12,000 - $30,000 vs $2500 - $5000 vs $35,000-$50,000

    Not the same.

    Actually, their weight depends on how far each is from the center of the earth and/or a massive body. . so. . in actual fact your puppy probably weighs more than Mt. Kilimanjaro, since the base altitude of Kilimanjaro is over a mile above sea-level (unless your puppy is also more than a mile above sea level).
    That's pretty heavy. I think your puppy needs MFP.

    Mass in the contect of volume but not density... thats a seperate subject. for example, a balloon filled with air is going to fall at a slower rate that a rock of the same size and volume because of density!

    What I meant was the mass of a single object is constant. Density is simply mass divided by volume, which clearly can change.

    Mass is something physicists are still trying to understand.

    Matter is anything that has mass and takes up shape.

    Mass has no formula. It is a basic building block.

    However because mass is a building block its used in many important equations such as density.

    Newton 2nd Law describes Force
    as the product of mass and acceleration

    F = ma

    If we use the acceleration due to Earth's gravity ( g) we have weight.

    W = mg


    Einstein also uses mass in the most famous formula
    E = m c ²

    Here mass is relates Kinetic Energy ( the energy of motion) to velocity.

    Kinetic Energy is written as
    KE = 1/2 m v²

    Which says that a object with mass has a Kinetic Energy which is exponentially related to its velocity.

    E = m c ² Is that relationship as the object approaches the speed of light, which is the constant, c in physics.

    To give you an idea how fast that is...
    c = 3.00 x 10 ^ 8 m / s

    or 186,000 mi / s

    Ok, I'll give you that. Observable mass can change depending on the relative motion of inertial frames between the observer and the subject.

    You are not the wisest of posters here.

    1kg of fat = 1kg of muscle

    in other words, a balancing scale will balance and not tip one way or the other.

    ps - it is "weighs"
