Mass and weight
What is the difference between them? Mass and weight What is mass? What is weight? What is the difference between them? Mass = Weight?
Mass is the total amount of matter or material in the object Mass and weight Mass is the total amount of matter or material in the object E.g. This is a wooden block. The total amount of wood in this block is 4 kg. Then its mass is 4 kg Whether it is on the Earth, on the Moon or in space, the mass is the same
Weight of an object is the pull on it by the Earth Mass and weight Weight of an object is the pull on it by the Earth Thus, it is a force and is measured in newton (N) Its weight = (4 X 10) N = 40 N E.g. Do you know how the weight changes, if this block is brought to the Moon? The weight varies from place to place
