1. Mass Vs Weight

2. Practical
You will be carrying out a practical titled „Investigating the relationship between mass and weight“.
You will be using a newton meter to measure the weight of different masses. The newton meter will be hung from a clamp stand.
You need to prepare a prediction, equipment list, labelled diagram, procedure and results table.
Don‘t forget to include space for repeats and averages in your table!!!!
Also: diagrams, results tables and graphs should all be done using a pencil and ruler.

3. Practical
Calculate your averages and plot a graph of Mass Vs Weight with mass on the x-axis.
Once your graph is complete, write a conclusion.

4. Choose 3 planets: make a graph of mass vs weight

7. Calculating Gradient
Change in y
(3000N)
Change in x
(120 kg)

8. Did you get these right? Gravitational constants (g):
Pluto: 0.5 N/kg
Moon: 1.5 N/kg
Mars: 4 N/kg
Earth: 10 N/kg
Jupiter: Around 25 N/kg
Weight = Mass X Gravity
W=mg
