what is difference between mass and weight of an object will the mass and weight of an object on the earth be same as their values on Mars why

Mass:

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a body.

Mass of the body is the constant quantity and does not change with the change of position or location.

Weight:

Weight is the force exerted by a body when it is in a gravitational field. It depends upon the gravitational field

Weight of the body is the variable quantity and changes with the change in position and location due to the acceleration of the gravity acting on it. Yes they are used at different places and time.

abhijithdejunipcrwpk: 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

abhijithdejunipcrwpk: mass is constant

abhijithdejunipcrwpk: weight will depend on gravity

abhijithdejunipcrwpk: therefore mass of an object on earth and moon or anywhere else will be same

abhijithdejunipcrwpk: but weight of the same object will change from place to place depending on the gravity

Answer:

The mass of an object is the amount of matter present in it. It is same everywhere in the Universe and is never zero. It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is kg. The weight of an object is the force with which the earth (or any other planet/ moon/star) attracts it. It is directed towards the centre of the earth. The weight of an object is different at different places on the earth. It is zero at the earth’s centre. It is a vector quantity and its SI unit is the newton (N). The magnitude of weight = mg.

The mass of an object will be the same on the earth and Mars, but the weight will not be the same because the value of g on Mars is different from that on the earth.
