DIFFERENCE
MASS
- Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body.
- Mass is always constant for a body and there are several formulas to calculate mass.
- One way to calculate mass is:
- Mass = volume × density
- Mass only has magnitude and so, it is a scalar quantity.
- The SI unit of mass is Kilogram (Kg).
WEIGHT
- Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.
- Weight is dependent on the gravity and so, it varies from place to place.
- Weight can be calculated from the following formula:
- Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
- Weight has both magnitude and direction (towards the centre of gravity) and so, it is a vector quantity.
- The SI unit of weight is Newton (N).
