Question

Write 4 difference between mass and weight

Answer 1

Comparison of Mass and Weight:
1.Mass is a property of matter.
The mass of an object is the same everywhere
1.Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight varies according to location.
2.Mass can never be zero.
2.Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
3.Mass does not change according to location.
3.Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
4.Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude.
4.Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well

Answer 2

Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere,Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight varies according to location.
Mass can never be zero.Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
Mass does not change according to location. Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude.Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.
Mass may be measured using an ordinary balance.Weight is measured using a spring balance.
