Answer 1

Differences between the mass of an object and its weight

Mass	Weight
1.The measure of the amount of matter in a body.	1.The measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.
2.$\mathrm{Mass}=\mathrm{volume}\times \mathrm{density}$	2.$\mathrm{Weight}=\mathrm{mass}\times \mathrm{acceleration}\mathrm{due}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{gravity}$
3.The SI unit of mass is $k\mathrm{ilogram}\left(kg\right)$.	3.The SI unit of weight is $n\mathrm{ewton}\left(\mathrm{N}\right)$.
4.It is a scalar quantity.	4.It is a vector quantity.
