1. Define Mass –. 2. Define Weight –. 3. Describe what will happen (if anything) to mass and weight when you go to the moon. a. Why would this happen? 4. Find the weight of a 60 kg astronaut on earth. a. Find the weight of the same object on a planet where the gravitational attraction has been reduced to 1/10 of the earth’s pull. Show all work. 5.
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. 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.
2. (a) Draw the force of gravity (weight) that act on the object when the object is at rest on a table, as shown in figure (a). (b) Draw the force of gravity (weight) and it’s components that act on an object sliding down an inclined plane, as shown in figure (b) Solution.
Plug in the given values for Force/Mass/Acceleration to solve. Remember, mass is in kg - - force in in N (newtons) - - acceleration is in m/s 2 1. How much force is needed to accelerate a 66 kg skier at 2 m/sec 2? 2. What is the force on a 1000 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec 2? 3.
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. It is measured on a _____.
Mass and Weight Objectives • Show familiarity with the idea of the mass of a body • State that weight is a gravitational force • Distinguish between mass and weight • Recall and use the equation W = mg • Demonstrate understanding that weights (and hence masses) may be compared using a balance
