Question 1

What is mass

Answer 1

The mass of an object is the amount of matter it contains

Question 2

Answer 2

Kilograms or grams

Question 3

Where does the mass of an object change

Answer 3

Never

Question 4

Answer 4

All objects have a force which attracts them towards each other. This is called gravity

Question 5

When does the gravitational force increase

Answer 5

The objects are closer

Question 6

What is weight

Answer 6

Weight is a force caused by gravity. The weight of an object is the gravitational force between the object and the earth

Question 7

Answer 7

Newtons (N) It is always a capital n

Question 8

How many Newtons is 1kg

Answer 8

10N

Question 9

Can mass and weight change

Answer 9

Mass cannot because it’s the amount of matter in an object therefore it wouldn’t change no matter where you were

Weight can because it is the gravitational pull for example on the moon your weight would be less
