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.
Mass and weight. Normal force. Newton’s second law of motion. Friction force. Motion on the horizontal surface without friction force. The motion of two bodies with the same acceleration on the rough horizontal surface with the friction force.
Weight Practice Problems. 1. Weight is a measure of both _______________ and _________________. It is measured on a _____________ _____________. The units for weight are ________________. The formula for finding weight is: W=_________ ___ ______________. 2. Mass is a measure of how much _______________ a substance is made of.
The weight of a cylinder on the Moon is less than its wei ght on the Earth. How do the gravitational field strength and the mass of the cylinder on the Moon compare with their values on the Earth?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Mass is not related to gravity. The mass of an object does not change when it is moved from one place to another. Mass is commonly measured in grams or kilograms. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force between two objects.
