Question

distinguish between mass and weight​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sl. No. Differentiating Property Mass Weight

1 Definition

Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body.

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

2 Denotation

Mass is denoted by “M”.

Weight is denoted by “W”.

3 Formula

Mass is always constant for a body and there are several formulas to calculate mass.

One way to calculate mass is:

Mass = volume × density

Weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on a body.

Weight can be calculated from the following formula:

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

4 Quantity Type

Mass is a base quantity.

Mass only has magnitude and so, it is a scalar quantity.

Weight is a derived quantity.

Weight has both magnitude and direction (towards the centre of gravity) and so, it is a vector quantity.

5 Unit of Measurement

The SI unit of mass is Kilogram (Kg).

The SI unit of weight is Newton (N).

6 Gravitational Effect

Mass does not depend upon gravity and is constant everywhere.

Mass can never be zero.

Weight is dependent on gravity and so, it varies from place to place.

Weight can be zero where there is no gravity (like space).

7 Measuring Instrument

Mass can be easily measured using any ordinary balance like beam balance, lever balance, pan balance, etc.

Weight can be measured by a spring balance or by using its formula.

Hope it helps you out pls make me brainliest please please please please please

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere. Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.

Mass can never be zero. Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.

Mass does not change according to location. Weight varies according to location.

Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude. Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.

Mass may be measured using an ordinary balance. Weight is measured using a spring balance.

Mass usually is measured in grams and kilograms. Weight often is measured in newtons, a unit of force

Explanation:

just give efforts to split both differences and good if select any three points of them

i hope this works for u..
