PRESENTATION OUTLINE
MASS &WEIGHT
MASS
The amount of matter an object has.
WEIGHT
The downward force of gravity acting on mass
The mass is the same but the weight is different. Mass doesn't change. Weight does.
THINGS IN COMMON
- More or less mass also equals more or less weight
- Both are used to describe an object whether it be how much it weighs or how much matter it takes up.
DIFFERENCES
- Mass measures how much matter is taken up and weight is a force
- Mass stays the same no matter where you are. Weight will change depending on the gravity
- Different measure units.(Mass: Grams Kilograms, Weight: Newtons)
FORMULAS
- Weight=Mass x Strength of Gravity
- Mass=Weight/Strength of Grvaity
- Strength of Gravity= Weight/Mass
Example: Calculate weight for person on Mars.
M=73kg G=(3.7N/kg)
W=MG
W=(73kg)(3.7N/kg)
W=270.1N
This is the Weight of a person with a mass of 73kg on Mars.
WEIGHT
The force that affects weight is gravity.
