What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Weight varies with gravity, mass does not.

• There is no difference.

• Mass is a force, while weight is not.

• Mass is measured in newtons, weight in kilograms.

• Nikola Tesla

• Galileo Galilei

• Isaac Newton

• Albert Einstein

What does Newton's discovery of gravity explain?

• Why objects move

• Why objects fall towards the Earth

• The difference between mass and weight

• How to measure force
