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
mass is the space ocupied by an object whereas weight is the force experienced by an object due to gravity ......
mass remains same everywhere while the weight varies from equator to poles
no the values on mass and earth will be different of only weight because of different gravitational force
Answer:
The mass of an object is the amount of matter present in it. It is same everywhere in the Universe and is never zero. It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is kg. The weight of an object is the force with which the earth (or any other planet/ moon/star) attracts it. It is directed towards the centre of the earth. The weight of an object is different at different places on the earth. It is zero at the earth’s centre. It is a vector quantity and its SI unit is the newton (N). The magnitude of weight = mg.
The mass of an object will be the same on the earth and Mars, but the weight will not be the same because the value of g on Mars is different from that on the earth.
