Measured in grams or kilograms. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213143568 2017-12-05 03:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213143568 Mass in real life - Imagine a basketball. Everything that makes up the exterior and interior of the ball is made of matter, and therefore has mass. Mass starts deep down within each electron, neutron, and proton inside of every atom. Mass is all around you in the air you breathe, food you eat, and water you drink, plus more! hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213143932 2017-12-05 03:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213143932 hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213145326 2017-12-05 04:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213145326 hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213145993 2017-12-05 04:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213145993 Even the plate has mass hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213146071 2017-12-05 04:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213146071 Weight in real life- When you step on a scale, it projects a number for you. In daily life, weight is measured in pounds, but in physics, weight is measured in newtons, or force. That's right, force! Your weight isn't how much stuff is inside of you (that's mass). Weight is the force of gravity acting on you! Imagine a ton of books on top of your head, let them represent gravity. The more mass you have, the greater amount of books will be on your head. This force keeps you tied to the ground and insures that you don't fly away. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213146381 2017-12-05 04:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213146381 Weight - the force of gravity acting upon you. Measured in newtons. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213146861 2017-12-05 04:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213146861 hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213147253 2017-12-05 04:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213147253 hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213148317 2017-12-05 04:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213148317 How Mass and Weight are different. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213148671
Mass is what's inside of you while weight is the gravitational force pushing down on you. The biggest difference that scientists have found between the two is that no matter where you are in the universe, mass doesn't change. However, since weight is formed based on the amount of gravity, weight can change drastically depending on where you are. As an example, a weight of 100 lbs on Earth is the product of mass and acceleration of gravity per that planet. On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s squared. A planet's mass and distance from the Sun (center of Milky Way Galaxy) determine its gravitational force.]]> 2017-12-05 04:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213148671 According to www.exploratorium.edu, "If you double your mass, gravity pulls on you twice as hard. If the planet you are standing on is twice as massive, gravity also pulls on you twice as hard. On the other hand, the farther you are from the center of the planet, the weaker the pull between the planet and your body." hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213149826 2017-12-05 04:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213149826 100 newtons on Earth hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213149990 2017-12-05 04:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213149990 6.7 newtons on Pluto due to its small mass and vast distance from the Sun. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213150078 2017-12-05 04:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213150078 252.8 newtons on Jupiter due to its large mass, size, and medium distance from the Sun. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213150200 2017-12-05 04:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213150200 37.8 newtons on Mercury due to its small mass, but extremely short distance from the Sun. hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213151694 2017-12-05 05:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213151694 hlevy16 https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213151981 2017-12-05 05:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hlevy16/vx1l9argdfh2/wish/213151981
