Weight |
|
The mass of a body is the measure of its inertia, the greater the mass of the body greater will be the inertia. |
The weight of a body at any place is the product of its mass and gravitational acceleration at that place. W = mg |
|
The mass of the body always remains constant.
|
The weight of the body can slightly vary from place to place on the earth.
|
|
Its value can never be zero for any material particle. |
At the pole, the weight of the body is maximum, whereas, at the equator, it is minimum. |
EXPLANATION:
- The mass of an object remains the same on the earth and on the moon. Therefore option 1st is correct.
- Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.
- Since the gravity is different on the Earth and on the moon, therefore the weight of an object is different on the earth and on the moon.
