Question

Write difference between Mass and Weight.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of matter in a material,

while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body.

Answer 2

Mass:

• If you could count up the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an object (which you probably can't), this would be a measure of the mass.
• The mass is essentially "how much stuff" is in an object.
• Yes, I know that's just a partial definition—but it's good enough for now. Common units for mass are the kilogram and the gram.
• If you insist on using silly imperial units, the unit for mass is the slug (true).

Weight:

• There is a gravitational interaction between objects that have mass.
• If you consider an object interacting with the Earth, this force is called the weight.
• The unit for weight is the Newton (same as for any other force). OK, fine—the stup¡d pound is also a unit for weight.
