Question

Which statements can be made about mass and weight? Check all that apply.

Mass can be measured in newtons.
Weight can be measured in pounds.
A bowling ball has more mass than a basketball.
A bowling ball weighs more than a basketball.
Mass can be measured with a balance.
Weight can be measured with a scale.
Objects have the same mass regardless of where they are.
Objects weigh the same regardless of where they are.

Answer 1

Mass of an object is the amount of matter present in it while weight is the force exerted on the body by virtue of gravity i.e W = F = mg

(1) Mass can't be measured in newtons. It can be in kg or grams.

(2) Weight can be measured in pounds. 1 pound = 4.44 Newton.

(3) A bowling ball has more mass than a basketball. The mass of basketball is approximately 3.5 kg while that of the bowling ball is 7.25 kg.

(4) A bowling ball weighs more than a basketball. This is because the mass of the bowling ball is more.

(5) Mass can't be measured with a balance. If we are measuring with balance, gravity will always act.

(6) Weight can be measured with a scale. If an object is held along a spring, it is used to measure weight.

(7) Objects have the same mass regardless of where they are. The mass remains constant everywhere.

(8) Objects do not weigh the same regardless of where they are. This is because the value of acceleration due to gravity varies with location. So, the value of weight is different.

The statements that are true for mass and weight are :
