What distinguishes mass from weight?

A
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.
B
Weight is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while mass is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.
C
Mass is a measure of an object's inertial force, and weight is the force exerted by that object on other objects.
D
Mass and weight are synonyms and ultimately describe the same principle.

What is the difference between velocity and acceleration?

A
Velocity describes an object's position and acceleration describes how fast it moves.
B
Velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.
