Back

Weight is the amount of gravitational pull on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Front

What happens to the weight of an object if it is taken to the Moon?

Back

The weight decreases due to lower gravitational pull.

Front

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 kg, what is its weight on Earth? (Use g = 9.8 m/s²)

Back

Weight = mass × gravity = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

Front

Is weight the same everywhere in space?

Back

No, weight varies depending on the gravitational pull of the location.
