Question

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

Answer 1

mass is the amount of matter contained in a body
weight is the force with which a body is attracted towards the center of the relative heavenly body
it will be differnt in case of earth and mars as the weight will vary less weight in mars as it has less gravity than earth

Answer 2

Question :

What is the difference between mass and weight of an object? Will the mass and weight of an object on the earth be the same as their values on Mars? Why?

Answer :

1. Mass is the amount of matter present on it. It is same everywhere in the Universe and is never zero. It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is kg.
2. 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 center of the earth. The weight of an object is different at different places on the earth. It is zero at the centre of the earth. It is a vector quantity and its SI unit is Newton (N). The magnitude of weight = mg.
3. 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.

Hope it helps.
