Mass,
Weight &
Density
Mass
The measure of how much matter
is in an object
It is a property that resists the
change in motion
S.I. Unit: Kilograms (kg)
Gravity
A downward pulling force
The force that attracts a body
towards the centre of the earth, or
towards any other physical body
having mass
Gravity
Factors affecting Gravity
1. Mass
2. Distance
Gravity
Free falling objects increase in
speed
Increasing speed aka Acceleration
We call this Acceleration due to
Gravity
10
Weight
A gravitational force
The effect of a gravitational field
on a mass
The force of gravity on an object
S.I. Unit: Newton
Weight Equation
W = m.g
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due
to Gravity
The gravitational field strength on
Earth is 10Nkg-1
Weight vs. Mass
Weight is a Force
Weight can change
Weight has the S.I. Unit: Newton
Mass is not a Force
Mass cannot change
Mass has the S.I. Unit: Kilograms
Same object on different planets

Mass is the same

Gravitational field strength g on
the 2 planets will be different
Therefore, the weight is different
Interstellar clip
Volume
The 3D space that is occupied by an
object
Volumes are determined by
calculating the length, width, and
height of the occupied space by an
object.
S.I. Unit: Meter cubed –
Density
Mass per unit Volume

S.I. Unit: Kilogram per meter cubed

Liquid density
Find the mass of the measuring
cylinder by placing it on a balance
Then fill it with the liquid and
measure the new mass
The difference is the mass of the
liquid
Regular Solid density
Measure the mass of the solid by
placing it on a balance
If the solid is regularly shaped,
measure its dimensions using a
ruler or another measuring tool
Then use a mathematical formula
to find the volume
Irregular solids
Ifthe solid is irregularly shaped,
immerse it in water and measure
the volume of the water displaced.
This is the volume of the solid
Find the density using the
equation
Bitta buoyancy
The density of water is
If the density of an object is
greater than this it will sink in
water
If the density of an object is less
than this it will float in water
