Question

What are the main differences between mass and weight ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

→ There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc.

→ Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg.

→ Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc.

Answer 2

$\underline\bold{Mass:-}$

• Mass of an object can be measured by its inertia.

• The total quantity of matter contained in an object is called mass of an object.

•Mass of an object remains constant at all the places.

• Measurement of mass is done by using a beam balance.

• Mass doesn't change even value of g is 0 at any place.

$\underline\bold{Weight:-}$

• Weight = m × a ( m×g) , ( mass × acceleration).

• The force with which an object is attracted towards the centre of the earth is called the weight of an object.

• Weight of the object is different at different places.

• Measurement of weight is done by using a spring balance.

• Weight of the object become 0 is g is zero.
