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.
