Mass is a quantity that remains constant regardless of location, while weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object that can change depending on location. Common tools for measuring mass include balances that use springs or electronics, while the formula for calculating weight is weight = mass x gravitational acceleration. Gravity and therefore weight vary on different celestial bodies, so an object's weight would be lower on the Moon but higher on Jupiter compared to Earth.

4. Weight is the
gravitational
force by which
Earth attracts it

5. Mass is a scalar quantity which
has magnitude only

6. Weight is a vector quantity
which has magnitude and
direction

7. Unit of mass is Kilogram

8. Unit of weight is Newton.

9. Mass is not
changed by
changing
the position
Earth MoonSame mass

11. Weight is changed by
changing position

13. m= W/g

14. Weight is
calculated by
formula w m g
W= m x g

15. Physical balance
Beam balance
Electronic balance

16. Spring balance

18. Gravity on the Moon has approximately 1/6th
of the strength of gravity on Earth.
A man who weighs 60kg on Earth would
weigh approximately 10kg on the Moon. His
mass, however, remains constant.
Acceleration
due to gravity
Moon=1.62 m/s²
Earth
=9.807 m/s²

19. Jupiter is a massive planet, the biggest in our solar system,
and it has a stronger gravitational pull than Earth. In
fact, its gravity is about 2.4 times as strong as Earth's. This
means, if you weigh 40 kg on Earth you would weigh 94 kg
on Jupiter.

20. A body weighs more at the poles than at the equator.

21. In space, weight doesn't exist but mass does.
In space you don't have gravity, so weight doesn't
exist there.
