Mass is a characteristic of all matter, including all objects. An object's weight is the resultant force of all of the gravitational forces acting on it. An object's weight near the surface of Earth is its mass times about 9.8 m/s^2.

If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?
its weight is 2mg
What 2 ways are weight and mass different?
Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Weight is actually a measure of the force of gravity on an object. An object normally has a constant mass, but weight varies with gravity. An object in space will have no weight, but still have the same mass.
Compare and contrast mass and weight?
mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the gravitational pull on an object mass x gravity = weight
Why might scientist measure the mass of an object rather than the weight of an object?
The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.
what is relationship between weight and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the gravitational force applied to an object. Mass is a function of weight since weight it determined by the amount of force placed on an object of a certain mass.
If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?
its weight is 2mg
What is the difrference between weight and mass?
Weight is how heavy and object is and Mass is the size of the object!
Does mass equal half the weight of an object?
No. Mass and weight are two separate but related properties. Mass is the amount of matter within object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. So and object's mass depends on the mass of the object and the strength of gravity where it is. Weight= mass x gravity.
What is the amount of mass is in an object is it it's weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity on an object.

What does an object have to have for weight to act on it?
An object must have mass for there to be weight. There also must be another mass (such as Earth) that exerts a gravitational pull on the object for there to be weight.
An object with a mass of 1.0 kg has a weight of what?
An object with a mass of 1.0 kg has a weight of 9.807 newtons.
How is weight and mass different?
mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of force of gravity on an object
