Question

Differentiate between mass and weight.
(in 3 points)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of matter in a material, while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body. ... Weight usually is denoted by W. Weight is mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (g).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Mass:-

1. Mass is the amount of matter present in a body.

2. Mass can be zero.

3. Mass doesn't change according to location/ always remains same.

4. Mass is scalar quantity.

5. It's closely related to inertia.

6. It's usually measured in Gram, Kg.

Weight:-

1. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.

2. Weight can't be zero.

3. Weight increase or decrease with higher or lower gravity/ changes according location.

4. Weight is a vector quantity.

5. It's closely related to gravity.

6. It's usually measured in Newton/Force, Pound, Ounces.
