what is different between Mass and weight of an object.
Answers
Mass: The amount of matter present in an object is known as mass. It is denoted by 'm'
Weight: The mass due to gravity is known as weight. It is denoted by 'W'
W=mg
Where, g means acceleration due to gravity
And g=9.8 which is approximately 10
Basic difference b/w mass and weight.:
◆Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere.
But Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight varies according to location.
◆Mass can never be zero.
But Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
◆Mass does not change according to location.
But Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
◆Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude.
But Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.
◆Mass usually is measured in grams and kilograms.
But Weight often is measured in newtons, a unit of force.
