Describiendo a la materia y sus propiedades: comparando masa y peso

The video explains that the mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location, such as on Earth or the moon. However, weight varies due to gravitational differences. Weight is measured in Newtons, a unit of force, and is the force exerted by gravity on an object. On Earth, a 1 kg mass weighs 9.8 Newtons. While scientists use Newtons for weight, everyday measurements often use metric units like grams and kilograms or English units like ounces and pounds.

What remains unchanged when an object is moved from one place to another?

• Its density

• Its volume

• Its mass

• Its weight

Why does a soccer ball weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?

• The Moon has more gravity than Earth

• The soccer ball gains mass on the Moon

• The soccer ball loses mass on the Moon

• The Moon has less gravity than Earth
