Question 2 of 5
Mass vs. Weight

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

mass is the amount of matter something has

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity
