What is the relationship between mass and weight?
  1. Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity
  2. Weight = Mass / Acceleration due to gravity
  3. Weight = Mass + Acceleration due to gravity
  4. Weight = Mass - Acceleration due to gravity

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between mass and weight?
Correct Answer: Weight = Mass × g
  • Step 1: Understand that mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg).
  • Step 2: Understand that weight is the force that gravity exerts on that mass. It is measured in newtons (N).
  • Step 3: Learn the formula for weight: Weight = Mass × g.
  • Step 4: Know that 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.
  • Step 5: Use the formula to calculate weight by multiplying the mass of the object by 9.8 m/s².
