Relation poids/masse Flashcards
(10 cards)
What is the definition of mass?
Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.
What is the definition of weight?
Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
True or False: Weight and mass are the same thing.
False
Fill in the blank: Weight is calculated using the formula ________.
Weight = mass × gravity
What is the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
Approximately 9.81 m/s²
Multiple choice: Which of the following units is used to measure mass?
Kilograms
What happens to the weight of an object if it is taken to the Moon?
The weight decreases because the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is less than on Earth.
True or False: An object’s mass changes depending on its location in the universe.
False
What is the relationship between mass and weight?
Weight is directly proportional to mass, given a constant gravitational field.
Multiple choice: If the mass of an object is 10 kg, what is its weight on Earth?
98.1 N (Newtons)
