Mass And Weight
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Step on a bathroom scale on Earth, then imagine doing the same on the Moon: the number would drop to about a sixth, yet you would still be made of exactly the same amount of stuff. That puzzle is the heart of this topic. Mass and weight feel like the same thing in everyday life, but in physics they are completely different quantities with different units.
Here you will learn to separate the two cleanly, define gravitational field strength, and use the equation that links weight to mass. By the end you will be able to calculate the weight of any object, explain why your mass never changes while your weight depends on where you are, and compare masses using a simple balance.
Ebumnobi
- State that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest relative to the observer
- State that weight is a gravitational force on an object that has mass
- Define gravitational field strength as force per unit mass; recall and use the equation W g = m and know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall
- Know that weights (and masses) may be compared using a balance
- [Supplement] Describe, and use the concept of, weight as the effect of a gravitational field on a mass
