Question

what is difference between mass and weight?

Answer 1

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.

____________________________________

Generally sometimes we uses mass and weight term interchangeably, but there is a big difference between both the terms.

Mass - it's an actual amount of material present inside the body.

Weight - It's a force exerted by the gravity on any object which have some mass. So, it can be written as m×a (mass×acceleration).

One more remarkable difference is that, the mass is independent of everything while weight depends upon object which is applying gravitational force.
