Physical Science Mass and Weight. Use the following formula to solve for weight: Weight (W) = Mass (m) x gravity (g) W = mg. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) Gravity on earth is a constant: 9.8 m/s2 Weight is measured in Newton’s (1 N = 1 kg m/s2) Answer the following questions – show ALL WORK and UNITS. 1. Define Mass –.
1. The weight of a 1 kg mass at the surface of the Earth is… g = 9.8 m/s 2. Known : Mass (m) = 1 kg. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s 2. Wanted: weight (w)
MASS & WEIGHT. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter (stuff) in an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg) Weight is a force and it is the pull of gravity acting on an object. It is measured in Newtons. Experiment. Collect a 20N spring balance and a set of 100 g masses. Predict the weight (force of gravity) on 100 g. Record this in the table.
Use the weight formula. W = mg. Solve for mass. Substitute one newton for weight and one standard earth gravity for gravity.
Mass and Weight. Learn the difference between mass (m) and weight (F w). Find out how to convert to mass from weight and from weight to mass. Watch the video as we go through the content and problems set or go through the same material below
How do we define mass, weight, and gravity? How are mass, weight, and gravity related? The weight equation W = mg shows that an object’s weight (in newtons) is equal to its mass (in kilograms)
