2. Answer the following questions.
a. What is the difference between mass and
weight of an object. Will the mass and
weight of an object on the earth be same
as their values on Mars? Why?
Answers
Explanation: 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. The weight of a body can be measured using a spring balance and a weighing machine. The mass of an object on the Earth will be same as that on Mars but its weight on both the planets will be different. ... (i) A body is said to be under free fall when no other force except the force of gravity is acting on it.
