Question

What are the basic difference between mass and weight also calculate the value of g on the earth?

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer.

Explanation:

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.
