What is difference between mass and weight ??

Answer» Definition\t• Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body.• Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.Denotation\t• Mass is denoted by “M”.• Weight is denoted by “W”.Formula\t• Mass is always constant for a body and there are several formulas to calculate mass.• One way to calculate mass is:Mass = volume × densityWeight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on a body.Weight can be calculated from the following formula:Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravityQuantity Type\t• Mass is a base quantity.Mass only has magnitude and so, it is a scalar quantity.• Weight is a derived quantity.Weight has both magnitude and direction (towards the centre of gravity) and so, it is a vector quantity.Unit of Measurement\t• The SI unit of mass is Kilogram (Kg).• The SI unit of weight is Newton(N). Gravitational Effect\t• Mass does not depend upon gravity and is constant everywhere.Mass can never be zero.• Weight is dependent on gravity and so, it varies from place to place.Weight can be zero where there is no gravity (like space).Measuring Instrument\t• Mass can be easily measured using any ordinary balance like beam balance, lever balance, pan balance, etc.• Weight can be measured by a spring balance or by using its formula.
Mass of an object is measure with interia but Weight of an object is the force which is attracted to word the earth
Mass is scalar but weight is vector quantity. Mass is constant while weight changes according to place.
Mass the is the amount of matter in the object. Its SI Unit is M. Mass is neither be zero. Weight is product of mass and gravity. Its SI Unit is N. Weight can be zero if accerlation due to gravity is zero
Mass :-mass is the amount of "matter" in an object . Weight :-weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. ... Objects on the surface of the Earth have weight.
