Answer:
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.

Que :- What are the differences between the mass of an object and it's weight?
Ans :- Mass
- Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere
- Mass can never be zero
- Mass does not change according to location.
- Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude
- Mass may be measured using an ordinary balance
- Mass usually is measured in grams and kilograms.
Weight
- Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
- Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
- Weight varies according to location.
- Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.
- Weight is measured using a spring balance.
- Weight often is measured in newtons, a unit of force.
