Six differences between Mass and Weight
S.NO. | | |
1. | Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. | Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an object. |
2. | Mass is a scalar quantity, | Weight is a vector quantity. |
3. | Mass is constant. | Weight can vary depending on the gravitational force acting on an object. |
4. | The mass of an object can be measured using a balance or scale. | Weight can be measured using a spring scale or another device that measures force. |
5. | The mass of an object is the same in all reference frames. | Weight can vary depending on the reference frame. |
6. | The mass of an object is important in determining its kinetic energy and momentum. | Weight is important in determining the forces acting on it. |
