Question

drag each label to the correct category
decide whether each statement describes mass or weight.
labels (blue boxes): measured in newtons, measured in kilograms, does not change when gravity changes, changes when gravity changes, the amount of matter in something, a gravitational force
categories: mass, weight

Explanation:

• Mass: Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is measured in kilograms (or grams, etc.). Mass does not change with the change in gravity because it is an intrinsic property of the matter. So the statements for mass are: "measured in kilograms", "does not change when gravity changes", "the amount of matter in something".
• Weight: Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object. It is measured in newtons (since force is measured in newtons). Weight changes with the change in gravity because it depends on the gravitational pull. So the statements for weight are: "measured in newtons", "changes when gravity changes", "a gravitational force".

Answer:

• Mass: measured in kilograms, does not change when gravity changes, the amount of matter in something
• Weight: measured in newtons, changes when gravity changes, a gravitational force
