Lab #6.3a
Mechanics: Chapter 6
the Weight
Purpose
In this activity, you will
investigate the relationship
between weight and mass.
Discussion
Mass and weight are different
quantities. Mass is a measure of
an object’s inertia, the extent
to which an object resists
changes to its state of motion.
Weight is a measure of the
interaction between an object
and the planet the object is
nearest to. Usually that planet
is the earth. The weight of an
object is related to its mass.
In this activity we will find
out what that relationship is.
