Mass and Weight

• The weight of a body is the force of gravity acting on it, which gives its acceleration when it is falling.
• The acceleration due to gravity is represented by the symbol g (9.8 m/s^2 or 98 N/kg).
• The weight of a body can be calculated using the formula w = mg, where m is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
• Mass is the quantity of matter in a body and is a measure of inertia.
• Weight is a vector and is directed toward the center of the Earth.
• The weight of a body is the force of gravity acting on it, which gives its acceleration when it is falling.
• The acceleration due to gravity is represented by the symbol g (9.8 m/s^2 or 98 N/kg).
• The weight of a body is given by the equation w = mg, where m is the mass of the body.
• Weight is a vector and is directed toward the center of the Earth.
• Mass is the quantity of matter in a body and is a measure of inertia.
• Mass is the amount of matter present in an object and remains constant regardless of location.
• Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on an object and depends on the gravitational force at the location.
• The standard metric unit of mass is the kilogram.
• Weight is measured in Newtons, which is the same as the unit of force.
• Weight can be calculated using the formula W = M * G, where W is weight, M is mass, and G is the acceleration due to gravity.
• Mass is a measure of inertia, while weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object.
• Units of weight include newton, dyne, and pound.
