Question
why is mass more useful than weight in science? mass depends on gravity mass stays the same everywhere mass is always larger than weight mass is easier to measure with a spring scale
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and can change depending on the gravitational field. Since mass is invariant, it is more useful in scientific studies as it provides a consistent measure of the amount of matter in an object.
