Mass vs. Weight
2
Mass and Weight are RELATED but are NOT the SAME properties.
3
MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains
4
MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object
5
MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object Is the same for an object no matter where it is located in the universe
6
MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object Is the same for an object no matter where it is located in the universe Changes for an object depending on where it is located in the universe.
7
MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object Is the same for an object no matter where it is located in the universe Changes for an object depending on where it is located in the universe. Measure with a balance

MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object Is the same for an object no matter where it is located in the universe Changes for an object depending on where it is located in the universe. Measure with a balanceMeasure with a scale. Earth mass same as Moon mass Mass=50kg

MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object Is the same for an object no matter where it is located in the universe Changes for an object depending on where it is located in the universe. Measure with a balanceMeasure with a scale. Earth mass same as Moon mass Mass=50kg Earth weight more than Moon weight Weight=490N Weight=82N

Measure with a balanceMeasure with a scale. Earth mass same as Moon mass Mass=50kg Earth weight more than Moon weight Weight=490N Weight=82N (110 pounds) (18 pounds)

MassWeight A measure of how much matter an object contains The force of gravity on an object Is the same for an object no matter where it is located in the universe Changes for an object depending on where it is located in the universe. Measure with a balanceMeasure with a scale. Earth mass same as Moon mass Mass=50kg Earth weight more than Moon weight Weight=490N Weight=82N (110 pounds) (18 pounds) 6 X more gravity!

Measure with a balanceMeasure with a scale. Earth mass same as Moon mass Mass=50kg Earth weight more than Moon weight Weight=490N Weight=82N (110 pounds) (18 pounds) So you’d weigh 1/6 th of your weight on the moon!
