What is the quantity of weight?

Answer 1

The physical quantity of weight is Newton (N). Weight shares the same SI unit as force. ;)

Answer 2

Not so. The measure of the quantity of matter in an object is its mass. The weight

of the same quantity of mass can change in different places and circumstances, but

the mass can't.

Answer 3

The force that gravity exerts on a given mass.

Gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

F = M*A

Weight = Mass * Gravity

That is why your WEIGHT is different on the moon, but your mass will always be the same.

Mass is a scalar, hence only has a magnitude (kilograms, kg). Weight is a vector (its a force - measured in Newtons, N) and so also has a direction. If your answering a weight question give a direction. Usually 'down' will suffice.

Answer 4

There are four main ways to measure a quantity of matter: by [1] mass, [2] weight, [3] volume, and [4] the number of particles (molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles). Examples of units of measure for these four categories are as follows:

[1] MASS: kg (kilogram), g (gram), t (tonne), lbm (pound-mass), slug (slug), ton (ton), u (Atomic Mass units)

[2] WEIGHT: N (newton), dyn (dyne), lbf (pound-force), kip (kilopound)

[3] VOLUME: m^3 (cubic meter), L (litre), ft^3 (cubic foot), gal (gallon), tbsp (table spoon)

[4] NUMBER OF PARTICLES: mol (mole)

Note: One mole contains 602 214 179 300 000 000 000 000 particles. One mole of water has a mass of 18 g and a volume of 1.2 tbsp (about one spoon full of soup).

Note: The units listed in bold font above are the standard units used in most science and engineering work and are called the SI system of units. However, many branches of science, and most branches of commerce, have their own preferred set of units that differ from the SI set.

Answer 5

the amount of matter is called mass, weight is how much I am pulled down by the gravity of the earth

in outer space, I still have the exactly same mass because I didn't lose my body matter, yet I am weightless!

Answer 6

No, because:

Mass refers to the amount of matter (stuff) an object has.

Weight is a measure of the force of the gravitational attraction between the object and Earth.

Example: The same rock that weighs 300 pounds on Earth would weigh about 1/6, or 50 pounds, on the moon or be weightless in space. In all three situations though, while its weight would differ, its mass (amount of matter or stuff) would remain the same.

However, if you have an object of known, standard mass in a standard gravitational field, you can compare other objects to it. The ratio of the weights will equal the ratio of their masses.
