Question

Differentiate mass and weight.

Answer 1

Answer:

In common usage, the mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body. Mass is denoted using m or M.

Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to the acceleration due to gravity.

Weight usually is denoted by W. Weight is mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity.

W=m∗g
