4 how is weight different from mass? a weight changes depending on gravity; mass stays constant throughout the universe. b weight is measured in grams; mass is measured in newtons. c weight can be converted to energy; mass cannot. d weight is measured with a scale; mass is measured with a triple - beam balance.

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is constant everywhere in the universe. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and changes depending on the gravitational field strength. Grams are for mass, newtons for weight. Mass - energy equivalence applies to mass, not weight in the way stated. Measuring tools are not the fundamental difference.

Answer:

A. Weight changes depending on gravity; mass stays constant throughout the universe.
