Mass versus Weight • Mass – Amount of matter in an object – unit: kilogram, kg – Does not change with location
Mass versus Weight • Gravitational force on the object • Unit: Newton, N • Equal to mass x acceleration due to gravity W=mxg Where g = 9. 81 ms-2 • Changes with location
Types of Forces: Non-Contact Force Electrical Force
