Mass vs Weight Measurement
Part A: Get the science right
The mass of an object describes how much matter it contains. Weight is the gravitational force acting on that mass. The relationship is weight = mass × gravitational field strength.
- Mass is a force measured in newtons; weight is measured in kilograms.
- Mass is measured in kilograms or grams; weight is a force measured in newtons.
- Mass and weight are both measured only in newtons.
- Mass and weight are identical measurements, so either unit is suitable.
- A spring scale or force meter
- A ruler
- A measuring cylinder
- A stopwatch
Part B: Calculate and compare
Use weight = mass × gravitational field strength. Convert grams to kilograms before calculating weight. Give weight answers in newtons (N).
