Mass vs. Weight

Mass vs Weight Weight Mass The force on an object due to gravity pulling the object down. Weight = m*g UNITS N in metric system. lb in English units. Mass Mass – A measure of how much inertia an object has. More mass = more inertia and harder to change the motion. Also measured by how much matter is in an object. Measured in Kg

Weight (Earth) 1 kg of mass weighs 9.8 N on earth… How much does a person weigh if he has 65 kg of mass? Fw = 65 kg * 9.8 m/s2 He “weighs” 637 N.

Weight on the moon On the moon gravity is 1.6m/s2 not 9.8 m/s2 How much does THE SAME PERSON with 65 kg of mass weigh on the moon? W = 65 kg * 1.6 m/s2 He “weighs” 104 N.

Calculating Weight 1) If you mass on the moon is 62.5 kg, what would your force of weight be in Earth?

Calculating Weight 5) Find the mass of an object with a weight of 12 N.

Calculating Weight 8) What is the acceleration due to gravity of 17 kg of debris falling at a force of 63N from Pluto?
