Understanding Weight and Mass

What is the main difference between weight and mass?

• Mass is measured in Newtons, while weight is measured in kilograms.

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

• Weight is constant everywhere, while mass changes with location.

• Mass is an inherent property of an object, while weight is the gravitational force acting on it.

According to Newton's second law of motion, what does 'F' represent in the formula F = ma?

• Friction

• Force of gravity

• Frequency

• Force

How does the acceleration due to gravity affect an object's weight?

• It only affects the weight on other planets, not on Earth.

• It determines the weight by multiplying with the object's mass.

• It causes the weight to decrease as you move closer to Earth.

• It does not affect the weight at all.

What is the approximate value of gravitational acceleration on Earth?

• 3.71 m/s²

• 9.81 m/s²

• 24 m/s²

• 1.62 m/s²

If a woman has a mass of 60 kg, what would her weight be on Mars?

• 372 Newtons

• 587 Newtons

• 60 Newtons

• 223 Newtons
