Lesson
3 Mass and Weight
When we heard the word mass, some imagined about weight. But in reality,
it was only common misconception about mass and weight. Let us see the
difference between mass and weight.
What’s In
1. How do you convert kilograms (kg) to grams (g)?

2. How do you convert grams (g) to kilograms (kg)?
3. You weigh 90 pounds, what is your weight in kilograms?
4. A big box weighs 450 g, what is its weight in kilogram?
5. The boy weighs 150 pounds, what is his weight in grams?
Notes to the Teacher
It is important that learners must have knowledge in conversion

and about the earth’s acceleration due to gravity and the different
gravitation in other planets. They should also know the Newton’s
Second Law of Motion.
8
What’s New
Mass and Weight and its differences
9
What is It
Mass
Mass is the fundamental property of the object or the measured of the

amount of matter or its inertia. The SI unit of mass is either in grams (g) or
kilograms (Kg). Mass was measured by the quantity of matter regardless of the
location and the gravitational force apply on the object that is why it is always
constant. Your mass in earth and in moon is just the same unlike your weight in
moon that is about one-sixth of your weight in earth.
Weight
The weight force depends on gravitational pull on the object. The weight of a
person is known by his mass and acceleration due to gravity. When there is no
force acting on the object accelerating downward with the effect of acceleration of
gravity is in the free fall, refers to the weightlessness of an object. Since weight is
also a force, the SI unit of weight is Newton, N. 1 Newton = 1kg.m/s 2
Weight can be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity,
w=mg.
Mathematically, weight defined;
Where:
W = weight
F = force (F = ma – Newton’s Second Law of Motion)
m = mass
g = 9.8 m/s2 (acceleration due to gravity)
10
Example.
What is your weight on earth and moon if your mass is 55 kg?
Given Data:
Use the formula for weight:
Acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s2
Acceleration due to gravity on moon, g = 1.6 m/s2
Solution
Weightearth = 55 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 539 kg.m/s2 or 539 N
Weightmoon= 55 kg x 1.62 m/s2= 89.1 kg.m/s2 or 89.1 N
How to measure mass and weight

There are weighing machines that can be used to measure mass and weight.
Balance and scale are both weighing machines use in measurement, however it
differs in its uses. Balance is used to compare the mass of two different objects
wherein scale measures weight due to the force of gravity.
Weight on other planets

Have you ever thought what might be your weight on moons or other planets? Just
like earth, moon and other planets has its own gravitational pull. Your mass on
earth is just the same when goes to moon and other planets, but your weight on
earth is different when you go to the moon and other planets depend on the force of
attraction between you the planets acceleration due to gravity.
You can calculate your weight on moon and other planets depends on your mass.
Here are the different force of gravity of moon and other planets.
Table 1. Planets Gravitation
