Is mass the same as weight? what is your evidence?

  1. No, mass is the amount of matter in the object and weight is the force of gravity on the object. That means weight is different then mass.

  2. No, mass is NOT the same as weight. Weight is how much force of gravity is on an object, whereas mass is the amount of matter in an object. The weight of an object will differ on the moon then on earth because there is less gravity on the moon then on earth. Your mass will not change unless you lose an arm or something.

  3. No, because mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force of gravity on an object.

  4. Mass is not the same as weight, because mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas weight is the force of gravity that is acting upon an object.

  5. Mass is the amount of matter on an object and weight is the force on an object due to gravity

  6. Mass is the amount of matter on an object and Weight is the force generated by the gravity

  7. Mass and Weight are two different things, mass is how heavy and object is while weight is how much force is on the object

  8. No, mass and weight are very different. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is the force on an object from gravity. Your weight will be different on other planets but your mass will never change.

  9. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object and mass is how much matter there is in an object.

  10. They are not the same. Weight is the force on the object and the mass is how heavy the object is.

  11. No they are not the same. Mass measures the amount of how much matter there is in an object and weight measures the amount of force there is on an object.

  12. No they are two different things. Mass measures the amount of matter in an object, while weight measures the amount of force an object has.

  13. No, mass is the amount of space an object takes up and weight is the amount of force and object has.

  14. No, weight is how much gravity effects the object, and how much it weighs. For example, a refrigerator weighs more on Earth than it does on the Moon. Mass is how much space an object takes up. For example, A refrigerator's mass on Earth is the same as on the Moon.

  16. No, mass is the amount of space an objects occupies, and weight is the gravitational pull on an object.

  17. No, mass is the measurement of the amount of matter contained in or constituting in a physical body. Weight is the force with which an object near the Earth or another celestial body is attracted toward the center of the body by gravity.

  19. No, mass and weight are not the same because mass is the amount off matter a substance is made up of and weight is how heavy an object is (plus, mass is measured in grams and weight in lbs.).

  21. Mass is how much space something takes up and weight is how heavy an object is.

  22. No, mass is the measurement of the amount of matter in an object. Weight, is the amount of force applied by gravity on an object

  25. No. Mass and weight differ from each other. Mass is a measure of matter an object has. Weight is the measure of gravitational pull on an object. If there is not any gravity, you have no weight. (Hence the term weightlessness in space) Mass is usually measured in grams and weight is usually measured in pounds.

  26. no mass is measurement of the matter in something weight is determined by the gravity pulling on your body mass does not change weight does change

  27. No, mass is the measurement of matter inside of something, and weight is the force applied to something.

  28. No, mass is the amount of matter in a object and weight is how much force gravity is pulling on a object.
