Question

Write any three difference between mass and weight.​

Answer 1

Ans.

Mass

• Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere.
• mass can never be zero
• mass does not change according to location
• mass is a scalar quantity. It has a magnitude.
• Unit: kilogram(kg)

weight

• weight depends on the effect of gravity. weight varies according to location.
• weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
• weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
• weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the centre of the earth or other gravity well.
• W = mg [Unit : Newton (N)]

Answer 2
