* Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It's a fundamental property and remains constant.
* Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It changes depending on the gravitational field.
To calculate weight, you need the following formula:
Weight (W) = Mass (m) x Acceleration due to gravity (g)
Here's how it works:
* On Earth: The standard acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s².
* To convert grams to kilograms: Divide the mass in grams by 1000.
Example:
* Mass (m) = 90 g = 0.09 kg
* Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s²
Weight (W) = 0.09 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 0.8829 Newtons (N)
Therefore, the weight of a 90g object on Earth is approximately 0.8829 Newtons.
