mass and weight

• Mass


  measure of how much matter or particals an object has
• Weight


  measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter
• weight = mass x gravitational field strength
• list the factors that determine the weight of an object

  the mass of the object, its location on Earth, altitude, and temperature
• describe how the weight of an object is affected by gravitational field strength


  the greater the mass of the object, the greater its weight.
• describe how weight is measured


  measure the force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth
