Slide 10 - Slide
Mass and weight
Mass
- How much matter something is made of
- does not change with location
- Measured in kg
Weight
- the force of gravity acting on a specific object
- Depends on the gradational field something is in
- Measured in newton

Learning goals
- Explain the cause of gravity
- Describe the difference between mass and weight.
- Explain gravitational field strength
- Calculate weight, mass and gravitational field strength
Slide 12 - Slide
- all mass applies an attractive force on all other mass. The gravitational force.
- the strength of this attractive force depends on the amount of mass (in kg)
- The more mass something is made of, the greater its gravitational force is on other masses.
- the amount of newtons a body of mass applies to other masses per kilogram is called its gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength
Slide 13 - Slide
The amount of newtons a body of mass applies to other masses per kilogram (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength
Slide 14 - Slide
The amount of newtons a body of mass applies to other masses per kilogram (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength
For example:
The gravitational field strength on Earth is 10 N/kg
The gravitational field strength on Jupiter is 23 N/kg
