Weight and Mass Mrs. Wood 4th Grade Index Definitions – 3-4 Newton’s Second Law – 5-6 Weight – 7-9 Mass – 10-14 Examples – 15 YouTube Video – 16 MathCats – 17 Summary – 18 References – 19 Worksheet – 20 Weight The force which is felt by a given mass due to gravity is defined as weight. The weight of an object on Earth, thus depends entirely on the gravity (force of attraction) that is between the object and Earth. Mass Mass is the quantity of matter in an object. -it’s the “stuff in stuff” Newton’s Second Law The fundamental relation between the mass and the weight is defined by Newtons Second Law and can be expressed as F = m a???????? ~where F = force (N) m = mass (kg) a = acceleration (m/s2) Newton’s Law This equation helps us understand that if either of the mass increases, the increase in force of attraction will be directly proportional to the mass.  Weight Your weight depends on how much gravity is acting on you at the moment; youd weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in interstellar space youd weigh almost nothing at all. Weight W=mg Weight = mass x acceleration (due to gravity) Weight Spring balance is used to calculate the weight of an object. Mass Mass is often called as weight. Mass can be measured in both metric and customary units. Kilogram, gram, and milligram are the metric units whereas ounces and pounds are the customary units Mass Scale is used to calculate the mass of an object Mass Which object has more mass? a bowling ball or a tennis ball? a bicycle or a semi-truck? an egg or a chicken? If you were in outer space, which one of the above objects would have a greater mass? If you were in outer space, which one of the above objects would weight more? Mass Which of the following metric units would you use to measure the weight of a pizza?Choices: A. gramsB. millimetersC. secondsD. liters Correct Answer: A Grams is used to measure not too small and not too large weights.  Mass Example -Suppose a sandwich weigh
