4

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

55% Answer Correctly

mass is the amount of matter something has

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity
Solution

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.

5

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

opposite poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other

all of these are untrue

same poles repel each other
Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
