Question

What’s the difference between an objects mass and weight. How do I calculate the weight of an object? Which one is affected by gravity?

Answer 1

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. Mass does not change with gravity as weight does due to the act of pulling down on an object making it in fact heavier.
