True or false an object has a mass of 100 grams it also has a weight of 100 oz?

Answer 1

False. Mass is a fundamental concept in physics, roughly corresponding to the intuitive idea of how much matter there is in an object. In everyday usage, mass is more commonly referred to as weight, but in physics and engineering, weight means the strength of the gravitational pull on the object; that is, how heavy it is, measured in units of force. In everyday situations, the weight of an object is proportional to its mass, which usually makes it unproblematic to use the same word for both concepts. Thus 100 grams would normally weigh 3.52739 oz (not 100 oz)

To make a 100 gram mass weigh 100 oz you would need to increase the strength of gravity more than 28 times.

Answer 2

False. An object's mass is measured in grams (or kilograms), while its weight is measured in ounces (or pounds). The weight of an object depends on the gravitational force acting on it, so the weight of a 100-gram object would not automatically be 100 ounces.
