- Weight, Mass and Gravity
- Gravitational force
- Definition: Forces of attraction between all masses
- Bigger the mass, bigger the attraction
- Makes everything on the surface fall towards the ground at the same acceleration.
- It gives everything a weight.
- Gravitational Potential energy measured in N/kg
- Definition: Forces of attraction between all masses
- Weight
- Caused by gravity
- The value of weight changes as the force of gravity changes around the universe
- Measured in Newtons (N)
- Using a Newton meter or a Spring balance
- Weight is a force
- Caused by gravity
- Mass
- Mass is the amount of stuff in an object
- Measured in Kilograms (kg)
- Using a mass balance
- The value of Mass is the same around the universe
- Mass is not a force
- Formula
- W=MxG
- Mass times gravity equals weight
- W=MxG
- Gravitational force
