Question

Write difference between mass and weight​

Answer 1

Answer:

hope this helps u

Explanation:

• Weight is depending on gravity but Mass isn’t depending on gravity.

• Weight may vary from place to place but Mass is constant.

• Weight produce the motion but mass resist the motion or acceleration.

• Weight is measured by spring balance but Mass is measured by a physical balance.

• The unit of weight is N but the unit of mass in kg

• Weight is a vector quantity but Mass is a scalar quantity.

• Weight is one kind of force but the mass is not a force.

• Weight can be zero but mass can never.

Answer 2

Mass Weight

Definition Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object.

Effect of gravity Mass is always constant at any place and any time The weight of an object depends on the gravity at that place

Unit of Measurement Mass is expressed in kilogram (kg), grams (g), and milligram (mg). Weight is expressed in Newton (N)

Balance used for measurement Mass is measured using a pan balance, a triple-beam balance, lever balance or electronic balance. Weight is measured using a spring balance.

Type of quantity Scalar and base quantity Vector and derived quantity
