What are the differences between the mass of an object and its weight?
Answers
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:
In common usage, the mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.[1]In other words, an object with a mass of 1.0 kilogramweighs approximately 9.81 newtons on the surface of the Earth, which is its mass multiplied by the gravitational field strength. The object's weight is less on Mars, where gravity is weaker, and more on Saturn, and very small in space when far from any significant source of gravity, but it always has the same mass
