Weight is a force and is the pull of gravity on a mass.

• True

• False

Put these statements into the correct column

Groups:

(a) Weight

,

(b) Mass

• Measured using a Newton balance.

• Measured in Newtons

• Measured in kg.

• Measured using an electronic balance.

• Is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

• Can change depending on the gravitational field strength.

• Is the gravitational force acting on an object.

• Does not change in size.

Weight can be calculated using the equation W = (a)  

• m x g
• m/g

On Earth, W = m x (a)
