Weight is how much gravitational force is pulling you down it is measured using
.
Mass is the quantity of matter it is measured using F=ma, force = mass x acceleration
Put your knowledge to the test!
1) What is your mass when your force is is 240 and your acceleration is 12m/s ?
2) How much do you weight in the moon of you have a mass of 64kg?
3) What is the difference between mass and wight?
4) if your weight is 900N, what is your mass
Answers
1) 20kg because 240/12= 20 (f=240 and acceleration is 12 so you divide to find mass
2) w=mg = 64x10= 640N
3) mass is matter and weight is gravitational pull
4) 90 b/c you divide 900 by 10 because gravity is 10m/s
