Question

differentiate between mass and weight​

Answer 1

Answer:-

★ Difference between mass and weight

★ Mass

• Mass is the amount of matter contained in a physical body.
• Mass is one fundamental property of matter.
• Mass has magnitude but no direction, so it is a scalar quantity.
• Mass of a body is independent of the location where it is measured. A matter has constant mass in the entire Universe.
• Mass is measured using a Pan Balance, inertial balance or Electronic Balance.
• SI unit of mass is Kilogram (kg) and CGS unit is Gram (g).
• Dimensional Formula of mass is [M].

★ Weight

• Weight is the gravitational force with which a physical body is attracted toward the center of the Earth (or other celestial bodies).
• Weight is not a fundamental property.
• Weight has both magnitude and direction, so it is a vector quantity.
• Weight of a body varies depending on the location of measurement as the acceleration due to gravity changes with location.
• Weight is measured using a Spring Balance.
• SI unit of weight is Newton (N) and CGS unit is Dyne (dyne).
• Dimensional Formula of weight is [ MLT-2].

It helps uhhh.

Answer 2

Answer:

mass- it is the measure of amount of matter present in the body.

weight- it refers to the measure of the amount of force that acts on mass because of the pull of gravity.
