Mass and weight — Core Learning Objectives
Note
- State that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest relative to the observer
- State that weight is a gravitational force on an object that has mass
- Define gravitational field strength as force per unit mass; recall and use the equation g = W / m and know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall
- Know that weights (and masses) may be compared using a balance
