Question

difference between mass and weight

Answer 1

mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object .

Answer 2

Answer :

$\huge \large{mass}$

=> The mass of a body is the quantity of matter contained in it and mass is a scalar quantity which has only magnitude but No direction.

=> It is the amount of master in the body

=> It is constant quality remains same at all the palces

=> SI unit is Kilogram

=> mass of a body cannot be zero

$\huge \large{weight}$

=> The force with which an object is attracted towards the centre of the earth is called weight of body

=> It is a force with which, the earth pulls a body

=> It is variable quality and changed with the change in value of accceleration due to object.

=> SI unit of weight is newton

=> Weight is vector quantity which have both Direction and magnitude
