Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass remains constant regardless of the gravitational field, whereas weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity. In scientific contexts, mass is preferred because it is an intrinsic property of an object, whereas weight depends on the environment.
What else can I help you with?
How are weight and mass similar?
Weight is how gravity is affecting the mass of an object. While mass stays the same no matter where it is, the weight of an object changes depending on how strong the gravity is where the object is. For example, you weigh less on the moon than you do on earth because earth is much bigger than the moon is, therefore the more gravity it has. :-D :O ;)
Mass is a better measure of the amount of matter than weight is because mass is independent of location or dependent?
Yes, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of location or gravitational influence. Weight, on the other hand, depends on the gravitational force acting on the object, so it can change based on the location in the universe.
What is the difference between mass and weight, and how is mass different than weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the gravitational pull of a particular location.
Is an objects weight is less than its mass?
An object's weight is not the same as its mass. Weight is the result of the gravitational force acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in the object. Since weight depends on the gravitational pull and mass does not, the weight of an object can vary depending on where it is located in the universe.
If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?
The weight of an object of mass 2m is 2mg. Weight is directly proportional to mass, so if you double the mass, you double the weight.
Is weight caused by the gravatational force acting on mass?
Yes, and you can do even better than that.Weight IS the gravitational force on a mass.
Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring?
Because is mass is more accurate than weight.
Why is weight different from mass?
Well mass is different from weight in one major way. Mass is how easily something can lift more than weight being how heavy an object is. For example a balloon has mass, but a person carries weight.
Is the weight-mass of a CD more or less than a kg?
The mass is less than 1 kg.
How do mass and weight relate?
Mass is the amount of matter existing in your body and weight due to gravity, a body's weight is different on earth than to when on moon.
Why might scientists 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.
In mass and weight what is less than one?
Mass is the amount of matter. Weight had to do with gravity. Weitht is the force of gravity on mass. Some times we use gravity to measure mass such as a spring scale. That does not mean that gravity and mass are the same thing.
How are weight and mass similar?

Is molecular weight the same as mass?
Technically... not really. It would perhaps be more accurate to use the terms formula mass and molecular mass rather than formula weight and molecular weight. This because in physical terms, weight is a force while mass is a measure of the amount of substance in something.
What better unit would it be to measure the mass of an apple gram or kilogram?
With a scale. Mass equals weight.
Do scientists use mass more or less then weight?
Scientists use both; but normally mass is used somewhat more than weight.
