Eureka! Weight v Mass

What is the force of gravity?

• A force that pushes objects away from Earth.

• A force that attracts all masses to a certain extent.

• A force that only affects very large objects.

• A force that makes objects float.

What is one Newton of force equivalent to on Earth?

• The force of gravity acting on a mass of 1 kilogram.

• The force of gravity acting on a mass of 100 grams.

• The force of gravity acting on a mass of 10 grams.

• The force of gravity acting on a mass of 1 gram.

If an object weighs 600 Newtons on Earth, what would its approximate weight be on the Moon?

• 600 Newtons

• 100 Newtons

• 300 Newtons

• 60 Newtons

Which statement accurately describes the difference between mass and weight?

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

• Mass changes depending on location, while weight remains constant.

• Mass is a measure of the amount of matter, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

• Mass and weight are interchangeable terms in physics.
