Is weight the same as mass?

Answer 1

No. Mass is a measure of the quantity of physical material that makes up an object, and weight is the measure of force exerted on an object in a gravitational field. One cubic meter of lead is weightless in the middle of outer space, but it would still take a certain amount of energy to change its motion. And it would take considerably more energy to change the motion of the cube than to make the same change in the motion of a penny.

Answer 2

No. The same mass (informally: "amount of substance") can have a different weight, depending on the gravity.

No. The same mass (informally: "amount of substance") can have a different weight, depending on the gravity.

Answer 3

No. The same mass (informally: "amount of substance") can have a different weight, depending on the gravity.

Answer 4

mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravi
