Question

Compare between mass & weight

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass

It is a scalar quantity

It does not change depending on the surrounding

It is use to measure mangtitude

It is the amount of matter a body/object have

It SI unit is Kilograms(kg) or Gram(g)

It is measure using a balancing scale

Weight

It is a vector quantity

It does change depending on the surrounding

It is use to measure mangitude in a specfic direction

It is the amount of gravity pulling an oject or a body toward its core

It SI unit is Newton (N)

It is measure using a newton hand balance or the newton electrical balance

weight =mass* 10g

or (9.8 = 10 are both GRAVITY measurment)

weight=mass*9.8g

Answer 2

Mass can be thought of as the amount of matter in a given volume. No matter where one is (whether in space on Earth or on the moon) mass will always be the same.

Weight, similar to mass but distinctly different, can be thought of as the force that an object exerts on a planet. The weight of an object is based on two major factors, the mass of the object, and the gravitational force of the object that the given object is on. Weight changes depending upon where one is, if an object will weigh more on Earth than it will on the moon or in outer space.
