Question

differentiate between mas and weight​

Answer 1

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 pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

$\: \:$

➣ Mass:

• Mass is the amount of matter contained in a body.

• Mass of the body is the constant quantity and does not change with the change of position or location.

➣ Weight:

• Weight is the force exerted by a body when it is in a gravitational field. It depends upon the gravitational field

• Weight of the body is the variable quantity and changes with the change in position and location due to the acceleration of the gravity acting on it. Yes they are used at different places and time.
