Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and weight is measured in newtons (N).
The mass of an object can be found by using a scale to measure its weight and then dividing that weight by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s² on Earth). The formula for finding mass is mass = weight / acceleration due to gravity.
Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and weight is measured in newtons (N).
Mass and weight are directly proportional to each other. This means that as the mass of an object increases, its weight also increases proportionally. However, the gravitational pull of a planet can affect the weight of an object without changing its mass.
Measuring mass involves determining the amount of matter in an object, while measuring weight involves determining the force of gravity on an object. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change, while weight can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational pull.
