Question

What is the difference between weight and mass?​

Answer 1

To understand the differences we need to compare a few points: 1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope it Helps !!!

Explanation:

1) Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body. Weight is the   measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to the acceleration due to gravity.

2)  Mass is denoted using m or M. Weight usually is denoted by W.

3)  Mass can never be zero. Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.

4) Mass does not change according to location. Weight varies according to location.

5) Mass is a scalar quantity. Weight is a vector quantity.
