Question

what are the differences between mass and weight ?​

Answer 1

$\huge{ \underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \blue{Answer - }}}}}$

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

Answer 2

Explanation:

MASS

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

Mass is denoted by “M”

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

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

Weight is denoted by “W”

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
