Question

difference between mass and the weight of an object

Answer 1

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material containedin a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass isindependent of everything but weight isdifferent on the earth, moon, etc
