La diferencia entre masa y peso

The video explains the concept of matter, mass, and weight. It clarifies that mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in grams and kilograms, and remains constant regardless of location. Weight, however, is the force of gravity acting on an object, measured in newtons, and can change depending on the gravitational force. The video illustrates how gravity affects weight differently on Earth and the Moon, emphasizing that while mass remains unchanged, weight varies with gravity.

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

• Greater mass results in a stronger gravitational force.

• Greater mass results in a weaker gravitational force.

• Mass does not affect gravitational force.

• Mass and gravitational force are unrelated.

Which of the following is true about mass?

• Mass changes with location.

• Mass is measured in newtons.

• Mass is the same as weight.

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

How is weight different from mass?

• Weight is a measure of gravitational force, while mass is the amount of matter.

• Weight and mass are the same.

• Weight is measured in grams, while mass is measured in newtons.

• Weight is constant, while mass changes.

What happens to the weight of an object on the Moon compared to Earth?

• It becomes zero.

• It remains the same as on Earth.

• It decreases because the Moon has less gravity.

• It increases because the Moon has more gravity.

What is the weight of an object in open space where no gravitational force acts on it?

• It is less than on the Moon.

• It is zero.

• It is greater than on Earth.

• It is the same as on Earth.
