what is heavier?

[toobfreak]

No it is not.

I'm afraid you are wrong. The statement was made obviously assuming an equal volume of material for both materials. Lead has a higher atomic weight, but Gold has nearly twice the DENSITY.

Lol, that is not was he said. Not my job to be a mind reader.

Funny, I didn't need to read any minds to know what was meant. Everyone apparently perfectly understood but YOU.

The whole purpose of this podantic thread and original question was to sort out who knew the difference between mass and weight. Obviously meister did not know the difference. Now he does. I did not create the thread. Blame the guy who did.

Did you mean pedantic?

I think you mean pedantic.

I'm pretty sure he does and always has, and I believe his post DEMONSTRATED THAT. Indeed, it was YOUR response to him and your comment about "mind reading" that suggested YOU were the person confused by the terminology!

Lol this is his first post. "Gold is nearly twice the weight of lead." That is an erroneous statement.

Yep, unfortunately for me I was in the wrong here. Considering I use to teach this shit it is alarming to me I find myself losing my words and mixing up terms alot lately not good. Has me worried.

A gram of coke because I would have smoked the hash.

you have 1 kilogram of fluff and 1 kilogram of iron
which is heavier?

do not rush to answer.
according to Physics, there are two concepts "body weight" and "gravity"

Heavy means what?

You have mass and weight

Understand the Difference Between Weight and Mass

Here is a simple explanation of the difference between mass and weight, with examples and a chart comparing the two concepts.

www.thoughtco.com

"The terms "mass" and "weight" are used interchangeably in ordinary conversation, but the two words don't mean the same thing. The difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of matter in a material, while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass."

So, if you say 1 KG of something, it all depend on how much gravity is being put onto that object. 1KG of this on Earth compared to 1KG of that on the Moon and the weight is different. The mass remains the same.

And If you drop two things that have the same weight but have different surface areas, then you have different forces working in those as they fall, because they will hit other atoms on the way down, like oxygen atoms which will transfer energy as they go down.

What's heavier?

1) A philosophical insight presented by Aristotle.
2) The IRS presenting you with notice that you owe $1928.56

Well, I know..
