Question

practice it! all of the statements are correct, except.. mass and weight are essentially the same measurement. gravity impacts weight. mass is a measure of the amount of matter. mass = 120 kg weight = 120 x 10 = 1200 n

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and can change depending on the gravitational field. So mass and weight are not the same measurement. Gravity impacts weight as weight $W = mg$ (where $m$ is mass and $g$ is gravitational - acceleration). Mass is indeed a measure of the amount of matter.

Answer:

Mass and weight are essentially the same measurement.
