Question

1. synthesize information what is the difference between weight and mass?

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object (measured in kg). Weight is the force of gravity on an object (measured in N, calculated as \(W = mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity). Mass is constant, weight varies with gravitational field.

Answer:

Mass is the quantity of matter in an object (unit: kg). Weight is the gravitational force acting on the object (unit: N, \(W = mg\)). Mass is invariant, weight changes with \(g\) (e.g., less on Moon than Earth for same mass).
