Question

what is the difference between mass and weight? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In common usage, the mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

Answer 2

Answer:

• (1) Mass is the amount of matter present in a body.(2) It is a scalar quantity. (3)The S.I unit of mass is kg. (4) It does not depend on acceleration due to gravity. It remains constant from one place to other. (5) It is measured using a beam/physical balance.

• (1) Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body. (2) It is a vector quantity. (3) The S.I unit of mass is N. (4) It depends on the acceleration due to gravity. It doesn't remain constant from place to place it changes when the value of g changes. (5) It is measured using a spring balance.
