DIFFERENCE OF WEIGHT & MASS | Animation

Показать описание

Today, we are going to talk about another fun topic in Physics. It is all about the difference between Weight and Mass.

The Earth is massive.
My goal this summer is to lose weight.
We use these words and phrases almost every day, but what is the difference between mass and weight?
Let’s get the techy definitions out of the way first, and then we’ll discuss what they actually mean in normal terms.

Mass is defined as a physical body’s resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied.
Okay?
Well, What does that mean in normal terms?
A physical body is just another name for the collection of matter. So, a physical body could be a planet, a house, a laptop, or a kitty.

Next! Acceleration is just another way to say how quickly something changes its motion.

And last but not least, a net force is just the whole force affecting this collection of matter.

Now that we have defined these words in normal terms, we can say that a mass is just how much a collection of stuff can stop itself from changing its motion when something else is trying to move it.
