Whats the difference between mass and weight?
Mass and weight are two different things in physics.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is a scalar quantity and is expressed in kilograms. Mass is constant, meaning it does not change when the object is taken to a different planet or environment.
Weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. It is a vector quantity and is expressed in newtons. Weight depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity (g), which varies depending on the planet or environment the object is in. The formula for weight is W = mg, where W is weight, m is mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
In summary, mass is the amount of matter present in an object while weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on that object.
