What your weight scale gives you is not

your weight, is your MASS

98 kg

mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

WEIGHT SCALE MASS SCALE

Page 3: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

To measure your weight you should use a

DYNAMOMETER

weight is measured in Newtons (N)

??

960 N

Page 4: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

Weight and mass are RELATED but are not

the same thing

W = mxgweight (N)

mass (kg)

gravity acceleration(m/s2)

Page 5: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

Mass is a measure of the amount of

MATTER in a body

matter has mass and occupies space

Page 6: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

Mass is an INTRINSIC characteristic of the

body

m = 98 kg m = 98 kg

mass doesn’t depend on the circumstances of the body

Page 7: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

Weight is a gravitational FORCE exerted

by a near planet or star

W = 960 N W = 160 N

Planets with more mass attract with greater forces

Page 8: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

Weight is a VECTORIAL QUANTITY - has a magnitude (N) and a direction

Page 9: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

When g changes, W also changes

m = 0,1 Kgg = 1,6 m/s2

g = 9,8 m/s2

W = 0,1 x 1,6 = 0,16 N

W = 0,1 x 9,8 = 0,98 N

Page 10: You don't weight what your weight scale tells you

On Earth, your weight of 960 N is the

weight of a body with a 98 kg mass

98 kg

Don’t worry, under 100 kg is all right
