UNIT3-Mass and weight EOY Flashcards
1
Q
Weight
A
Weight is a measurement of the force of the gravity acting on a mass. Weight is measured in Newtons (N) .
2
Q
Mass
A
Mass is a measurement of the number of particles in an object. Mass only changes by adding or removing particles. Mass is measured in Kilograms (kg) .
3
Q
What is the Gravitational field strength on Earth?
A
10N/kg
4
Q
What is Gravitational Field strength “g” measured in?
A
Newtons per Kilogram (N/kg)
5
Q
How do you calculate weight?
A
W=m x g.
Weight(N)= mass(kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
