Question

the weight equation and newtons second lawnewtons second law, if you remember, is really just a math equation, $f = m \times a$, or $f = ma$.when we calculate the weight of an object, the weight is a force. the gravitationalacceleration, which is the same everywhere on earth, is g, and we know it is always 9.8m/s/s. so, the formula for weight is really just newtons second law, written with w insteaof f, and g instead of a. $f = ma$ is the equation that works for any force, mass, andacceleration, but $w = mg$ is only to find the force caused by gravity acting on an object.write this in your notebook: mass and weight are not the same thing. mass is how muchmatter is in an object, but weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. an objecthas the same mass on earth as it has in space, but in space it is weightless.is mass the same thing as weight? 1 point○ yes○ nowhat is the unit for mass? 1 pointyour answerwhat is the unit for weight? *1 pointyour answer

Explanation:

1. The provided text explicitly states "Mass and weight are not the same thing."
2. In the metric system (standard for physics contexts here), the base unit for mass is the kilogram.
3. Weight is a force, so its standard metric unit is the newton, derived from Newton's second law ($F=ma$).

Answer:

1. no
2. Kilogram (kg)
3. Newton (N)
