Understanding Mass and Weight

What is the primary difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is the amount of matter, while weight is the force of gravity on that matter.

• Mass is a vector, and weight is a scalar.

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

• Mass changes with location, while weight remains constant.

Which formula correctly represents the calculation of weight?

• Weight = Mass x G

• Weight = Mass - G

• Weight = Mass + G

• Weight = Mass / G

If an apple has a mass of 0.1 kg, what is its weight on Earth?

• 0.16 Newton

• 1.6 Newton

• 9.8 Newton

• 0.98 Newton

How does the weight of an object change when it is taken to space?

• The weight remains the same as on Earth.

• The weight increases because there is no gravity.

• The weight decreases because the mass changes.

• The weight becomes zero due to the absence of gravity.

What is the weight of a 0.1 kg apple on the Moon, where G is 1.6 m/s²?

• 1.6 Newton

• 9.8 Newton

• 0.98 Newton

• 0.16 Newton
