​

Answer 1

$\large\boxed{\rm{\blue{★ﾑɳรωεя★\leadsto}}}$

The differences between the mass of an object and its weight are tabulated below.

Mass Weight

Mass is the quantity of matter contained in the body. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the body.

It is the measure of inertia of the body. It is the measure of gravity.

It only has magnitude. It has magnitude as well as direction.

Mass is a constant quantity. Weight is not a constant quantity. It is different at different places.

Its SI unit is kilogram (kg). Its SI unit is the same as the SI unit of force, i.e., Newton (N)

Answer 2

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.
