In this way, is weight and force the same?
Weight is the measure of the amount offorce acting on a mass due to the acceleration due togravity. Weight usually is denoted by W. Weight ismass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (g).
People also ask, what is the definition of mass and weight?
1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of mattersomething contains, while Weight is the measurement of thepull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using abalance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount ofmatter. Weight is measured on a scale.
Whereas weight is the force by which the earh ispulling the object due to its gravity. Mass is measured inkillo grams where as weight is measured in Newtons. Forexample the same apple will weigh 0.81 Newtons onMoon but it will be still half a kg in Mass.
