Mass and Weight are different
MASS & WEIGHT
MASS
Measure of the stuff inside an object
Units of Mass are Grams and Kilograms
Force= Mass times Acceleration
WEIGHT
we use the word weight when it should be mass
The moon is much smaller and has less gravity
The weight changes while the mass doesn't on the moon
you need a force meter in order to measure the weight
Gravitational Acceleration can differ in the moon than the Earth
because of the size and gravitational force if different
F=MG
Mass always stays the same but our weight can differ
Weight is the measure of force applied to mass
Weight is measured in newtons and Mass is measured in grams & kg
More mass needs more force
Mass is the amount of mater in an object
A 2KG dumble does not weigh 2KG
Industries make the mass be written in kg and the weight in newtons for accuracy
The gravitational pull on the moon is 1/6 of the pull on Earth
If you need to throw a 700g ball in the moon, your force needs to be similar to the balls mass
Mass is also a measure of how difficult it is to accelerate an object
Newtons laws are also applied on mass
You need more force on Earth than the Moon
Your weight is less on the Moon than Earth
