Question 3 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which statement accurately describes the difference between mass and weight?

Answer
A
Mass and weight change based on location.
B
Mass remains the same while weight changes based on location.
C
Weight remains the same while mass changes based on location.

Explanation

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, so it stays the same when the object moves to a different location. Weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass, and gravity can vary from place to place. Therefore, mass remains the same while weight changes based on location.
