Question

difference between mass and weight​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In common usage, the mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.[1] In other words, an object with a mass of 1.0 kilogram weighs approximately 9.81 newtons on the surface of the Earth, which is its mass multiplied by the gravitational field strength. The object's weight is less on Mars, where gravity is weaker, and more on Saturn, and very small in space when far from any significant source of gravity, but it always has the same mass

Answer 2

Explanation:

Mass

1. It is the measure of amount of substance present in the body .
2. It is denoted by captial M .
3. Mass is always constant everywhere in the universe .
4. Mass = density × volume
5. Mass is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude not direction
6. Mass can never be zero or negative
7. Mass can be measured by using any balance .

weight

1. it is the measure of force exerted on a body due to force of gravity
2. It is denoted as capital W
3. weight can be zero if there is no gravity acts on a body
4. Weight can increase or decrease according to the force of gravity acting on the object
5. weight is a vector quantity
6. weight is measured by a spring balance .
7. weight = mass × gravity
