MASS AND WEIGHT
Mass is the amount of material in an object. MASS AND WEIGHT
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass stays the same WHEREVER the object is. MASS AND WEIGHT
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass stays the same WHEREVER the object is. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g) MASS AND WEIGHT
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass stays the same WHEREVER the object is. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g) People should say their ‘mass is 55kg’ rather than their ‘weight is 55kg’ MASS AND WEIGHT
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass stays the same WHEREVER the object is. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g) People should say their ‘mass is 55kg’ rather than their ‘weight is 55kg’ Weight of an object is the force with which the object pushes down on whatever it is resting on.

Weight is caused by gravity pulling an object downwards. The gravity force of an object is often called the weight force because they both have the same size. MASS AND WEIGHT

The weights on the table shows (or should show) that weight (in N) is always ten times the mass (in kg) MASS & WEIGHT
The weights on the table shows (or should show) that weight (in N) is always ten times the mass (in kg) This is because weight is calculated by multiplying mass by g – the strength of gravity. MASS & WEIGHT
The weights on the table shows (or should show) that weight (in N) is always ten times the mass (in kg) This is because weight is calculated by multiplying mass by g – the strength of gravity. The value of g (gravity) Is 10 Newtons per kilogram (10kg -1) on the surface of the earth. MASS & WEIGHT
The weights on the table shows (or should show) that weight (in N) is always ten times the mass (in kg) This is because weight is calculated by multiplying mass by g – the strength of gravity. The value of g (gravity) Is 10 Newtons per kilogram (10kg -1) on the surface of the earth. This means that every kg of mass pushes down with a weight of 10N. MASS & WEIGHT

The value of g (gravity) Is 10 Newtons per kilogram (10kg -1) on the surface of the earth. This means that every kg of mass pushes down with a weight of 10N. Weight = mg Where: g is 10N kg-1 m is mass, in kg MASS & WEIGHT

Calculate the weight of the following: a)A 105kg rugby player b)A 50kg sack of potatoes c)A 500g container of margarine. QUESTIONS
3. A 15kg rock is dislodged from a cliff and falls to the ground below. a)Calculate the force of gravity pulling the rock downwards b)What is the force of the rock on the ground at the foot of the cliff after it has landed? QUESTIONS
In pairs, get a force meter and use the weights to find out mass and weight. Remember!!! You must convert the mass into kg… COMPLETE THE TABLE FROM THE PRACTICAL Mass (kg)Weight (N)
Draw up a graph showing your results. NOW USING YOUR DATA
What does the table show about the relationship between the objects’ mass and the objects’ weight? QUESTIONS
