Which statement explains how weight is different from mass?
A. Mass is a varying property.
B. Mass is measured in newtons.
C. Weight is always greater than mass.
D. Weight is a measure of gravitational pull.

Asked by bj2k25

Answer (1)

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, measured in newtons, while mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms. The key difference is that weight can vary with the strength of the gravitational field, whereas mass remains constant. The correct statement that explains this differentiation is that weight is a measure of gravitational pull. ;
