  • What is centre of mass?
    The point where the entire mass of an object can be considered to be concentrated.
  • Mass is how much matter something has
  • How do you calculate weight?
    Weight = Mass(kg) x Gravitational field strength(N/kg)
  • The weight of an object is directly proportional to the mass of an object.
  • what is mass measured in?
    Kg
  • what is gravitational strength measured in?

    N/kg
  • what is weight measured in?
    Newtons
