GCSE Physics – Topic 1.3 – Mass and Weight
-- Core -- | ✔ |
State that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest relative to the observer. | |
State that weight is a gravitational force on an object that has mass. | |
Define gravitational field strength as force per unit mass; recall and use the equation g = W/m and know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall. | |
Know that weights (and masses) may be compared using a balance. | |
-- Extended -- | ✔ |
Describe, and use the concept of, weight as the effect of a gravitational field on a mass. |
