Answers
Answer:
mass :-* Si unit of mass is kilogram
* mass is a Scalar quantity
* mass is constant
* it can be measured in grams and kilograms
* it's value cannot be zero
on the other hand weight has following traits
* Si unit of weight is Newton
* its value is not constant
* weight is measured in Newton
* it's value can be zero
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 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. ... It is a constant for every object falling on Earth's surface.
