Mass Versus Weight: Unraveling the Differences in Measurements

The video tutorial explains the difference between mass and weight. Mass is measured in grams or kilograms and represents the amount of matter in an object. Weight, on the other hand, is measured in newtons and represents the gravitational pull on an object. The video emphasizes that mass and weight are not the same, highlighting the different units and methods used to measure each. The tutorial reiterates these concepts to ensure understanding.
