    The key takeaways are that mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change in different locations, while weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object and does change in different locations depending on the strength of gravity. Gravity depends on the masses of objects and the distance between them.

    Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change in different locations, while weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object and does change in different locations depending on the strength of gravity. Mass is measured in kilograms using a balance, while weight is measured in Newtons using a spring scale.

    Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion and is dependent on its mass - the greater the mass, the greater the inertia. In order to overcome an object's inertia and cause it to change its state of motion, a force greater than the object's inertia must be applied.

    Matter is anything that has MASS & VOLUME


    BUT…..If it has MASS and it’s on Earth( or any place else with gravity) ...it also has WEIGHT!

    All Matter has MASS


    GRAVITY is the Force of attraction between objects due to their masses
    THEREFORE, ALL MATTER experiences GRAVITY.

    GRAVITY DEPENDS ON 2 THINGS


    Earth lots of 1. MASS of the objects Humans have
    mass= lots of 2. DISTANCE between them little mass=
    gravity very little
    gravity

    Gravity is greater than below. Masses are equal

    Less gravity because of increased distance

    Less mass=Less gravity

    Weight MASS
    A measure of the Force of Gravity A measure of the Amount of Matter
    Measured using a spring scale.
    Measured with a triple
    Units are Newtons (N) =Measure of Beam Balance
    FORCE
    Units are________
    1N= Force needed to accelerate
    1Kg@1m/s2 Mass of an object can only change if matter is added
    or taken away.
    Force = Mass X Acceleration due to Grav-
    ity (F=mg) Mass does not change with location in
    Acceleration of gravity on earth = 9.8m/s/s the universe!!!

    Example: An object with ANSWER:


    a 10 kg mass will have Force(N)= Mass (kg) X Acc. Due to Gravity (m/s/s)
    what weight on earth? 10kg X 9.8 m/s/s (earth)= 98N

    Weight will change with an objects location in the Universe.


    For example: A person on earth (9.8m/s/s) has a MASS of 75kg therefore his weight is_____________

    What will this person’s Mass be on the moon? His weight? (What do you need to know?)

    Mass and Weight

    Use the following formula to solve for weight:


    Weight (W) = Mass (m) x gravity (g) W = mg

    Mass is measured in kilograms (kg)


    Gravity on earth is a constant: 9.8 m/s2
    Weight is measured in Newton’s (1 N = 1 kg  m/s2)

    Answer the following questions – show ALL WORK and UNITS
