Chapter 3: Mass Weight And Density (Physics Notes)

A set of vocabulary flashcards covering the fundamental concepts of mass, weight, gravitational fields, and density as outlined in the Physics lecture notes.

Mass

Measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest. It is a scalar quantity.

Weight

A gravitational force on any object that has mass. It is a vector quantity.

Gravitational field

A region of space in which a mass exerted a force of attraction on another mass.

Gravitational field strength (Formula)

$$\text{Weight (Gravitational force)} / \text{Mass of an object}$$

Density

Mass per unit volume.
