Question

differentiate between mass 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

MASS

• It is the quantity of matter contained in an object.
• MASS doesn't change with the change in time and place.
• The S.I. unit of mass if kilogram (kg).

WEIGHT

• It is the force on gravity acting on an object due to its mass.
• It changes with change in time and place.
• The S.I. unit of weight is Newton (N).
