Mass, Weight, Volume

What are differences between mass and weight?

Mass does not change based on location, while weight does. Mass measures matter and weight measures the force of gravity. To measure mass we use a balance and weight we use a spring scale. The units for mass are kilograms and the unit for weight is Newtons.

What units do we use for weight?

Newtons

What is a similarity between mass and weight?

They are both measurements

What is the formula used to measure the volume of a regular solid?

V = length x width x height

Explain what will happen to your weight and mass if you went to the moon.

Your mass would stay the same. Your weight would decrease.
