weight depends on the location where it is measured |
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.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
solid |
|
plasma |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

273K |
|
32°F |
|
0°C |
|
0°F |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
