Question 9 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A (SC301)

Which statement explains how weight is different from mass?

Answer
A
Mass is a varying property.
B
Mass is measured in newtons.
C
Weight is always greater than mass.
D
Weight is a measure of gravitational pull.

Explanation

Mass describes how much matter an object contains and does not change with location. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the object, so it can change if the gravitational pull changes. Therefore, “Weight is a measure of gravitational pull” is correct; weight is measured in newtons, while mass is not.
