|
|
|
The object’s mass is caused by the weight of the object pushing downward.
|
|
|
Weight is gravity’s force on an object, which is determined by its mass.
|
|
|
An object’s weight and mass are the same, but they are measured differently.
|
|
|
An object’s weight and mass are independent of each other.

Detailed explanation-1: -We know that weight is equal to the product of mass and gravitational force applied. So, W = MG where w is the weight, M is the mass, and G the gravitational force. Hence, it can also be interpreted as ‘the weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitational force is an attraction between masses. The greater the size of the masses, the greater the size of the gravitational force (also called the gravity force). The gravitational force weakens rapidly with increasing distance between masses.
Detailed explanation-4: -The greater the mass of an object, the greater the pull of gravity.
