Weight

Mass

How are "Mass" and "Weight" different?

• Mass = amount of matter; Weight = gravity's effect

• Mass = velocity ; Weight = force

• Mass = gravity's effect; Weight = amount of matter

• There is no difference.

Weight is measured with a:

• Spring Scale

• Ruler

• Flask

• Graduated Cylinder

What does this tool measure?

• weight

• meters

• mass

• force

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.

A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .

• Moon has more mass, and therefore more gravity

• Moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity

• Moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity

• Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity
