Is mass the same as weight?

Is mass the same as weight?
Doesn’t mass and weight measure the same thing?
Not really
The mass of an object is a measure of the number of atoms in it.
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram

Gravity is a measure of the force that gravity is pulling on an object.
Gravity is a force and technically should be measured in newtons.
A Newton N is equal to an acceleration of one kilogram one meter per second per second
Your weight can change based on the gravitational pull.
You weigh less on the moon
The weight of a candy bar that has a mass of 101 grams exerts a force of 1 Newton on your hand.

When you step on a scale it is an estimate of the force it is exerting on the scale

To find out how much force a 100 kg dog exerts on the scale just multiply by 9.8
100 kg equals 980 Newtons
So in conclusion,
Mass is a measure of how much matter something contains, which equals the number of atoms in it
Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on something

The SI unit for mass is kilograms
The SI unit for force is the newtons N

Who’s here watching this cause of online school?

[mrmanav]

so if some jock asks me "how much do you weigh, BRO?!"
i should say
"on terrestrial levels of earth i weigh 735 Newtons..bro"?

Where the hell is this guy keeping his 100kg German Shepard?

Why does he sound like he has a gun pointed to his head?

Thanks for stopping by MooMooMath and Science. Here is an updated version

"Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on something", it is very good explanation!

0:17 is what i said when i still needed time to understand the first part

pov: ur teacher is making u watch this cuz they too lazy to teach u

This video was very informative and helpful for me. Thank you for posting this video! Wish you a nice day from The Netherlands!🙂

[alkamali]

this video is recommended in my school that's how amazing u are when i already know your channel!

[Lukzom]

I had to put this video on 2x speed so I could hear him talk normally

Please explain how this does not conflict with the weight gain and weight loss.

You state that a scale measures your mass exactly and estimates your weight, i must say this is a confusing statement :p
Since the scale reading depends on gravitational pull, doesn't that mean scales measure weight instead of mass?
(the actual unit on the scale is just a matter of indexing your scale under the assumption that you're on earth)
Also, your scale will give a different result if you go stand on it on the moon, so i don't see how scales could measure mass instead of weight

I watched other videos on the same subject but finally understood it with this one. I was like, why couldn't they just say it in plain english! Nice work! :)

[roddy-]

ok your the first person to actually explain what mass is clearly.

other videos: mass is mass

[angeleyes]

OMG THANK YOU!!! You did in under 2 minutes what dozens of other videos that are 5 minutes or more try to do

[definitionsinurdu]

Thanks bro my problem is solve i proud of you💗💗

[mahina]

My question is that say you have 2 rocks. Say they’re both 10lbs but rock A is bigger than rock B. Does that mean rock A has more mass? I think yes but just wanna make sure I’m understanding this correctly 🤔
