Question

Distinguish between mass and weight

Answer 1

Mass is the amount of matter present in a body while weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter. ... The weight of an object is its mass times the acceleration due to gravity. ... Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object.

Answer 2

$\huge \mathbb \purple{MASS:}$

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains.

$\small \colorbox{purple}{S.I unit of mass is Kilogram.}$

$\huge \mathbb \green{WEIGHT:}$

The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it.

$\small \colorbox{green}{S.I unit of weight is Newton.}$
