Question

What is difference between mass and weight and which is vector quantity and which is scaler quantity ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vectors have magnitude and direction, scalars only have magnitude. ... Weight is a force which is a vector and has a magnitude and direction. Mass is a scalar. Weight and mass are related to one another, but they are not the same quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Mass never changes but weight changes .
2. Mass of a body can never be zero but weight can be zero as in vacuum.
3. The SI unit of mass is kg whereas the unit of weight is newton.
4. Mass is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude only whereas weight is a vector quantity as it is a kind of force, which is a vector quantity, having magnitude as well as a direction.
