Answer:

Mass

The kilogram (kg) is the SI unit of mass and it is the almost universally used standard mass unit.

Gravity and weight

Since the acceleration due to the force of gravity (g) equals aproximately 9.8 meters/s2, the weight of an object with a mass of 1 kilogram is 9.8 newtons under standard conditions on the Earth's surface.

Answer:

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it has in it

The weight of an object is a measure of the force/impact exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it

The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
