Question 9 • IA-Physical Science A-CR

Which statement is accurate about mass or weight?

Answer
A
Mass can be measured in newtons.
B
Weight can be measured in pounds.
C
A bowling ball has the same mass as a golf ball.
D
Objects have the same weight regardless of where they are.

Explanation

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and pounds are a unit used to measure weight. Mass is measured in units such as kilograms, not newtons; newtons measure force. A bowling ball and golf ball have different masses, and an object's weight can change when gravity changes.
