Question

How are mass and weight different?

(A) Weight is the amount of matter and mass is the effect of gravity on weight.
(B) Weight is the space an object takes up and mass is the effect of gravity on mass.
(C) Mass is the space an object takes up and weight is the effect of gravity on mass.
(D) Mass is the amount of matter and weight is the effect of gravity on mass.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

D, Mass is the amount of matter in an object, it is measured in kg and does not change with gravity. Weight is the effect of gravity on mass, it is measured in Newtons (as it is a force) and changes with gravity. E.g. If you went to the moon your weight would change due to the change in gravity but your mass would stay the same.
