Question

1. What are the differences between
the mass of
an object and its
weight?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.

2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.

3) The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the otherhand does change with location.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity. For example, if a ball of weight 2kg is falling down and we take the acceleration due to gravity to be 9.8m/s², then the force acting (weight) on the object will be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 Newtons. The weight of an object changes depending on the acceleration due to gravity at that location.

Hope this helps :-)
