What defines the amount of matter in an object?
Mass defines the amount of matter in an object.
How is mass measured?
Mass is measured in kilograms.
Does mass change depending on location?
No, mass is independent of location.
What happens to the mass of a wooden block on Earth and on the moon?
A wooden block has the same mass on Earth and on the moon.
What does weight measure?
Weight measures the gravitational force exerted on an object.
How does weight change?
Weight changes depending on location and gravitational force strength.
What is the formula for calculating weight?
W = m x g, where W is weight, m is mass, and g is the gravitational force.
What is the gravitational force on Earth?
The gravitational force on Earth is 9.8 m/s².
What is the gravitational force on the moon?
The gravitational force on the moon is 1.62 m/s².
How do you calculate weight in Newtons?
Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational force (m/s²).
