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

To measure your weight you should use a
DYNAMOMETER
weight is measured in Newtons (N)
??
960 N

Weight and mass are RELATED but are not
the same thing
W = mxgweight (N)
mass (kg)
gravity acceleration(m/s2)

Mass is a measure of the amount of
MATTER in a body
matter has mass and occupies space

Mass is an INTRINSIC characteristic of the
body
m = 98 kg m = 98 kg
mass doesn’t depend on the circumstances of the body

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

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

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

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
