Question

Distinguish between mass and weight?

Answer 1

Answer:

mass - volume (amount of substance)

weight - mass X gravitational field strength(GFS)

Explanation:

When you are on a different place like the moon the GFS is about half the GFS on Earth, you will have the same mass on both the moon and Earth, but you will have double the weight on Earth than the one on the moon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between mass and weight
