Mass and Weight

Starter 1
Write the date and title Tonne
Write the green LO

Which would you rather have fall on your head?

Why?
Stretch & Challenge: The mass of an object is how much of an object there is.
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity (measured in Newtons (N)). If 1 Tonne
the mass of the bricks is 1000kg, what is the weight if 1kg of weight = 9.81N ?

Keywords: gravity, mass, newtons, kilograms, gravitational force

Both would exert the

same force. However
the mass of the 1
1 Tonne feathers would be Tonne
greater.
Stretch & Challenge:
If the mass of the bricks is 1000kg, what is the weight if 1kg of weight = 9.81N ?
1000 x 9.81N = 9810N
