The FORCE (on an object) is a measure of the amount of a push or pull exerted on an object and it is measured in newtons The WEIGHT (of an object) is the local force of gravity on an object and it is measured in units of newtons Important It is incorrect to specify weight in any units other than newtons Consumer items should have their contents labeled Mass 10kg or Weight 100N Mass vs Weight An object's mass is a universal constant, whereas an object's weight depends upon its location On the moon a 1 kilogram (1kg) mass would weight about 1.6 newtons (1.6N) On the earth, a one kilogram mass would weigh about 10 newtons (10N) HINT For all activities in this database newtons will be used as units of force.
