Weight vs Mass

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass depends on gravity and weight is constant

• Weight depends on gravity and mass is constant

• Nothing- they are the same thing

A measure of how much matter an object has is--

• weight

• gravity

• mass

• volume

If an object has more mass, then it will

• weigh more.

• weigh less.

• weigh the same as an object with less mass.

• always have more volume than an object with less mass.

What is the primary difference between weight and mass?
