Mass and Weight are NOT the same. True or False?
|
True.
Mass and Weight are different. Mass is the amount of matter an object has and weight is how strong an object's mass is pulled by gravity. Example: On the moon, your mass would be the same but your weight wouldn't because the moon's pull of gravity on you would be different than when you would be on Earth. |
Pretend you are on the moon. Think whether your mass or weight would change or stay the same.
