Question

8
Distinguish between the terms mass and weight.​

Answer 1

mass :

• mass is a property of matter the mass of an object is the same everywhere .
• can never be zero
• mass does not change according to location .
• mass is a scalar quantity .
• mass may be measured using an ordinary balance

weight :

• it does depends on the effect of gravity .increases or decreases with higher or lower Gravity .
• can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object as in space .
• weight varies according to location .
• weight is a vector quantity
• weight is measured by using the spring balance

Answer 2

ANSWER:-

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
