Question

Give two differences between mass and weight.​

Answer 1

$\fbox\pink{A}\fbox\blue{n}\fbox\purple{s}\fbox\green{w}\fbox\red{e}\fbox\orange{r}$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. Mass is denoted using m or M. ... Weight is mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (g).

Answer 2

$\huge\mathbb\red{Answer:-}$

MASS-

● Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object

● Mass is measured in grams and kilograms

WEIGHT-

● Weight is a measurement of how strongly gravity pulls on a mass

● Weight is completely dependent on the amount of gravity there is.

Difference between mass and weight-

1) Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object

is the same everywhere.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight varies according to location.

2) Mass doesn't change according to the location

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎weight increases and decreases with higher or lower gravity

3) Mass can never be zero

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object , as in space

4) Mass is a scalar quantity . It has magnitude

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎weight is a vector quantity it has magnitude and its directed towards the center of the earth or other gravity well.

5) Mass may be measured using an ordinary balance

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎weight is measured using a spring balance

6) Mass usually is measured in grams and kilograms

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎weight often is measured in Newtons a unit of force.

7) Unit : kilogram (kg)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▪︎W: mg

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Unit : Newton (N)
