What's on this checklist
Core
- I can state that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object that is at rest relative to the observer.
- I can state that weight is a gravitational force acting on an object that has mass.
- I can define gravitational field strength as the force per unit mass, recall and use the equation g = W/m, and I know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall.
- I know that a balance can be used to compare weights (and masses).
Extended
- I can describe weight as the effect of a gravitational field on a mass, and use this idea.
